Sentier des capitelles bernissoises, Historic stone huts trail in Bernis, France.
The Sentier des Capitelles Bernissoises extends over 14.7 kilometers through Mediterranean landscapes, featuring numerous traditional limestone shelters built without mortar.
The trail's stone structures date from agricultural periods when workers needed protection from weather while tending to olive groves and vineyards.
Local volunteers known as Clapassaires restored over 80 stone structures between 1989 and 1991, maintaining regional architectural techniques.
The path maintains a gentle elevation change of 226 meters uphill and 234 meters downhill, requiring approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes to complete.
The trail includes specific structures such as the Grand Bois shelter, the Picholine shelter, and a water collection point called aiguier.
