This trail will introduce you to one of the Côte-d?Or?s most precious heritage assets: the cabotes. These dry-stone cabins are rough shelters, sometimes the size of a sentry box, generally facing downstream, away from strong winds. They provided protection from the sun and bad weather, and were used to store small tools, particularly in fields far from settlements.
These huts were built by their own users, and can only be distinguished by their location and the collective memory of whether they belonged to a farmer, a shepherd, a wine-grower or a road-mender.
