IF you have ever wondered about the small, stone built huts you find dotted across the French countryside, especially in the south, then take a look over pierreseche.com.
The site is an treasure trove of information on les cabanes, some of which is available in English, but just clicking through some of the photographs is great fun.
You can also brush up on your architectural vocab and dive in further into what is really a website built from the ground up and set to last.

I'm pleased to see you featuring this excellent site. For those of us interested the Loire, there is a link from this site to Stéphane Lebreton's fantastic site about Cabanes de vignes http://www.cabanesdevignes.fr/index.php?opt=accueil.
