TROGLODYTIC DWELLINGS OF KNIVES
Go there and contact
Discover dwellings carved in the rock, and inhabited until a certain period by the mythical cave dwellers. In volcanic rocks, these caves are not natural cavities, contrary to appearances. They were dug by man and were actually used as dwellings. The site was occupied more or less regularly from the Middle Ages to the present day. It was a privileged place for two reasons: it was interesting from a geological point of view because the rock was easy to cut, but also geographical, being exposed due south, the site is protected from the prevailing winds. In this troglodytic village, you will see the remains of a chapel, a forge... In spring 2007, this site was enhanced by the development of a discovery trail. From the formation of the volcano to the daily life of a troglodyte, not forgetting the advantages of living in a cave, you will know everything about troglodyte life. You are not safe from encountering some modern-day cave dwellers inside the caves! Work to secure the site was carried out in 2018. A family site par excellence.
