Loire Valley - Triglocyte dwelling

We drove along the Loire Valley, moving west towards a town called Saumur. Not far from there is a Triglocyte dwelling museum which was previously 2 farmers households which were left abandoned in the 19th Century. It was interesting to see how people actually lived in the cliffs! Apparently, at that time it was cheaper to dig holes than to build upwards. Infact, pictures of other triglocyte dwellings were pictured in Tunisia, China, Croatia.... So it seemed like an unusual yet similar idea spanning across other countries too.

Here's what living was like in the rocks....













That summed up the Loire Valley for us and we made our way further south and spent the night at a town near Poitiers.
