Text description provided by the architects. The region of the Monts de Lacaune, located in the Haut-Languedoc massif, is an area rich in history, varied landscapes, and cultural heritage. Known for its high-quality waters and pure air, the region is dotted with spectacular panoramas and majestic peaks, such as the Roc des Écus. During the time of Celtic Gaul, this region was inhabited by the Tectosages and preserves an important archaeological heritage, including menhir statues dating back to the Neolithic. These megalithic monuments, distinguished by their anthropomorphic figures, represent one of the largest concentrations of menhir statues in Europe, offering a fascinating glimpse into the beliefs and practices of our ancestors.
