Below Chaudeyrolles, there is a marsh covered with a giant cauldron called "the Narces". In south Velay, narce means wetland, swamp. Instead, the term. is used. Until the end of the Second World War, the inhabitants of Chaudeyrolles had accustomed themselves in the early summer to pick up peat, a mixture of rotten wood, plants and land. This peat was shaped into small bricks that were drying in the sun so that they lost their water. In winter, these small, light and porous peat bricks used fuel to fuel furnaces (as in Ireland). Chaudeyrolles was probably the only commune in the department to use peat as a means of heating. The peat bog is now reduced due to the exploitation of peat and drainage to allow grazing.

Jolie promenade autour des narces de Chaudeyrolles, facile d'accès pour enfants, personnes handicapés ou âgées; tout aussi agréable pour les autres. Tout au long du sentier des informations nous permettent d'apprendre de nombreuses informations, mais où sont / que sont exactement les narces ?? Nous avons dû faire des recherches en parallèle pour nous documenter, dommage.
The best at Chaudeyrolles and around
