Bories in Gordes

I love how seemingly half of the French language is not pronounced.

After our history teacher sent us on a treasure hunt to find a bories nearby, we discovered that it was actually an outhouse.

Now, do we tell her? Or just play along?

Either way, the actual bories were surprisingly cool. Living in one wouldn't be all that bad, though this area does get cold, and I can't imagine them being too warm in the middle of winter. I must admit that I was thoroughly impressed by the fact that some of these had lofts and second floors. Not bad! These things are sturdier than they look! Of course, they were somewhat restored, but I imagine it was only to the original point.
