Cambous


The prehistorical village of Cambous (the name means fertile plains in the Occitan language) was discovered in 1967, and dates from around 2200 BC. Four groups of buildings with walls sometimes two meters thick housed people living from farming: sheep, pigs, and dogs (dogs were food at that time) were kept next to agriculture of barley and wheat. A reconstructed house can be seen on the lower photo, but also many walls of the former village dwellings like on the upper photo. The village can be visited and is situated close to Saint Martin-de-Londres.
