Stone piles near Montvalezan.<\/h1>\n

Pebbles removed from fields, meadows and gardens<\/a> were usually piled between fields and woods. They progressively became heaps of stones. Now you can see them in the landscapes, we call them \u00ab\u00a0murgers<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb in french.<\/h2>\n

The largest ones can even be noticed on a topographic map (classical IGN map). As a matter of fact, they are symbolized by a closed quite oval line, and hatched external border.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don’t confuse it with a closed depression<\/a> which is symbolized by a small arrow towards its center, or a hatched internal <\/em>border!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Murgers are very common in Burgundy<\/a> and in any wine-growing region, by the way.<\/p>\n

At Montvalezan, there are several ones near farming areas.<\/h2>\n

Near Hauteville, for example, at places known as Pichard, Les Ecombettes and Grastibert (GPS @45.6190821,6.8454942), where lucerne, oats and potatoes were grown, you can find at least five larger ones.<\/p>\n

On the piles, you can easily locate the stones and pebbles which have not been moved for a long time: they are weathered, besides their surface is covered by lichens and mosses.<\/p>\n

Some others can be moved or taken of, showing that there is still some circular economy.<\/strong> One stores, then reuses! For example to isolate undergound parts of a house from the ground, or to metal a path or a track.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
