Basic shelter once used by the shepherd over summer. It is built out of dry stone with a hearth and "smoke vent" (hole in the wall). At the back there's a straw bed with the gun on top to protect the herd.
The Oloron Plain is visible on the horizon. Layens in the middle and the Ossau Valley's peaks on the right at the back. Issaux forest and Tourelles on the right.
