Habitat creusé, le patrimoine troglodytique et sa restauration / Digging habitat, troglodytic heritage and its restoration (book) by Patrick Bertholon, Olivier Huet, Ar’site. French language. 2005. Eyrolles editions. Collection “Au pied du mur”. 228 pages, paperback. Very good condition.
Cave dwellings are more numerous than their relative obscurity suggests! France’s diverse geology offers, from north to south and east to west, rocky environments ideal for their construction, and they can be found in many departments. From cavities clustered around a courtyard or shaft invisible to passersby to rooms nestled within a cliff face overlooking the landscape, these excavated spaces offer an extraordinary diversity.
Their restoration requires a thorough understanding of the legal, geological, and architectural specificities of the troglodytic phenomenon, which are explored in depth here. Examples of rehabilitation will also give the reader an idea of the pleasure of living in the rock, of this alternative way of life based on respect for a remarkable natural architecture.
More than 350 photos, sketches and maps illustrate this comprehensive guide to cave dwellings, an inexhaustible source of knowledge and a mine of practical information for any aspiring cave dweller.
Please feel free to take a look at the additional photos on the top left, thank you!
