In the Isère, in the Neolithic (- 5,000 years), men built houses made of wood, mud and reeds. They were grouped in villages called "pile dwellings". Today this hut is no longer present on the site and must be rebuilt.

At Pincevent, in the Paris Basin, traces of "stakes" were revealed. Prehistorians imagined that animal skins were stretched over the structure. Dating - 15,000 years. The type of house was similar to that of American Indians.

Inside the hut, traces of fireplaces and bones of animals and chips from carving activities were discovered. A more complete reconstruction can be found in the Museum of Terra Amata in Nice that exhibits all the reproduced elements. Dating - 400,000 years BC.

In the heart of the Verdon Regional Nature Park, in Quinson, the Prehistory Museum of the Gorges du Verdon traces the exceptional adventure of Man in Provence since 1 million years. The museographic circuit presents the result of archaeological excavations in the Verdon since more than 50 years: a journey in time accessible to all thanks to a circuit alternating scenes of the daily life of Prehistory, interactive animations and original archaeological objects.

The Prehistory Museum Gorges du Verdon is located in Quinson in the heart of the Regional Natural Park. With a daring architecture, the Museum is astonishing in its size (over 4000 m2): ? It seems to have become the center of the small village of Quinson. Made of concrete, glass and steel, the building is extended by an immense wall that connects it to the rest of the village. From the esplanade the look is as if caught and led to the almost invisible entrance of the Museum.

Bats take advantage of the natural and artificial cavities of the low Verdon gorges to hibernate. When they fall asleep, their temperature and heart rate drop and their breathing seems to stop (breathing stops can last from 60 to 90 minutes!). An impromptu awakening would condemn them. The flagship Mediterranean species here is Capaccini's Murin, whose large feet allow it to collect insects (and sometimes fry) on the surface of the water.

Seven of Quinson's eight fountains date from 1877. At that time, the waters of the Verdon were captured and channeled at Quinson to supply the region of Aix-en-Provence. The village was compensated and obtained a direct water supply. Two fountains have their overlaid basins that spread the water emphasize its abundance and indicate a certain ease. The sculptures use symbolic elements: toddlers evoking purity and youth, turtles symbol of eternity ...

Dating back to the late Neolithic – 4,500 years BC, the dolmens (or flat stone table in Breton) are not dwellings (or eternal ones!) but collective graves.

2,500 years BC, pastors of Languedoc garrigues were organizing villages of dry stone huts, sometimes consisting of about forty houses. Some huts had very thick walls and were over 20m long.
