In our region, there are many stone structures called cadoles, cabotes or cabiotes, which were once used as shelters by farmers. Winegrowers' huts are piles of stones gathered from fields, and a similar structure, murgers, refers to piles of stones left over from clearing fields. The proposed route allows you to discover some of these structures, which have been restored by a local association. You can find out more about their work and explanations on their website, with the participation of the "Sentiers" integration association. This is our small rural heritage. It is important to know about it (and to preserve it), as well as the customs of a bygone era, which have nevertheless shaped our landscapes. In the region, the terms "cadoles" and "cabotes" refer to the same type of construction, often found near vineyards. However, the term "cabiote" is used very locally in the Hauteville-les-Dijon area.
