In southern France, in what is today called Provence, are the remains of culture which was surprisingly young. The no-mortar, single-floor and often single-room bories date to a culture that lived here in the 1600s or 1700s. Every inch of the fertile land below was needed to support the growing population. So the houses were built in clusters in hilltop villages. The small dry-stone bories are clear evidence that though Paris may have been the cultural capital of Europe in the 1700s, much of France remained tied to the land and what they themselves could produce.
