The community of Cassagnes – part of an area of the Pyrénées-Orientales that goes under the name of « Le Fenouillèdes » – boasts a number of large dry stone huts which used to be called barraques (a Frenchified version of the Catalan word barracas) by the older generation but are now being called « capitelles », a word taken from neighbouring Languedoc.

For more information on these constructions and the village where they are found, do not fail to pay a visit on Cassagnes' website  ( http://www.cassagnes66.com). The site's webmaster is Philippe Hurtebize (who kindly provided us with the above photographs) (philippe.hurtebize[at]wanadoo.fr).
