What lies behind our localities known as "le Raffour" or "la Fournache"? What are these stone circles half-engulfed by the forest, these coal-blackened flats?

Description

These relics, often encountered along the way, tell of a time when mountain communities earned their livelihoods from what the mountains provided: stone, wood and water.
To these elements they added a fourth, which they mastered with great precision: fire.
