This small dry-stone hut, named ‘cabotte’, is an old shelter used by Burgundian winegrowers. A cabotte was a storage space for their tools, also offering protection from the vagaries of weather. Both inexpensive and solid, cabottes are built with materials found on the spot and according to a specific method: stacked one on top of the other without mortar or framework, the stones join together at the top to form a corbelled vault with a chimney. A larger stone serves as a lintel at the entrance, which always faces East.
