Village Troglodytique de Barry, Cave dwelling ruins in Bollène, France.
The village consists of numerous caves and stone structures carved into a 312-meter-high hill overlooking the Rhône Valley and Donzère-Mondragon canal.
From the Neolithic period until the early 20th century, this settlement evolved through Celtic, Roman, and medieval periods, serving as home to the Tricastini tribe.
The village displays different architectural periods through its carved dwellings, incorporating features such as internal staircases, fireplaces, and the 1692 Notre Dame d'Esperance chapel.
Visitors can access the site via the D26 road north of Bollène, with parking available along Montée de Barry and multiple walking paths of varying difficulty levels.
The medieval castle features triple arrow slits, an unusual defensive structure that allowed multiple archers to shoot arrows simultaneously from the same position.
