Le petit bâti, Sud de la France - Hubert Delobette
(The small building, South of France)
Unpublished and fascinating, this book penetrates into all the small built constructions that dot the countryside of the southern half of France. He explains their history, their origin; describes their operation, their manufacture. Where do these thousands of calvaries come from standing by the waysides, how were all these wells coming out of the ground built, why so many dry stone walls and huts along the fields ?
This work traces at the same time formidable adventures : the domestication of the wind by mills, modest wind turbines ; the capture of water by small irrigation canals, cisterns, drinkers ; the conquest of fire by lime, bread or charcoal kilns...
Excellent discovery of a little-known but oh so rich and exciting heritage !
