The drystone shelters and the bee wall in Cornillon Confoux
During this very easy walk on flat ground alternating between tracks and small roads, you can admire beautiful drystone shelters and a bee wall.
Drystone shelters are huts built from dry stones that served as temporary dwellings for farmers in Provence in the 19th century. The bee wall, or Apier, is an 18th-century dry stone wall, 60 metres long, with 56 niches (originally 200) where beekeepers used to shelter their straw hives from the mistral wind and bad weather.
