A Story About Stones.

We purchased 4 pieces of land around the village of La Liviniere last year. All have magnificent views over the Minervois valley and collapsed structures and crumbling ancient walls on them.
La Liviniere is known for it's dry stone walls. Whether used to build small shelters from the sun or to divide up parcels of land they are impressive. 

I had a visit from someone asking if I knew where he could get a few stones suitable for raising the height of a short section of his garden wall.
I showed him the stones lying around on one property and said he was welcome to a few.
As he was gathering the few stones  a couple of days later the Gendarmes arrived and he was asked what he thought he was doing. 

Explaining that he knew the owner of the land the Gendarmes were having none of it and told him to put them back. Why? He was told the land had a Roman road on it and was a protected world heritage site. Quite the surprise! The stones are resting there in their original location.
Is this true? Is there a 2000 year old section of Roman road on this land. Sounds like an interesting research project. 
If you would like to buy a plot of land with history attached to it contact me. Along with the views there are lovely trees, an ancient mill stream and several kinds of wild orchids on the land and all a short stroll from the center of the village. How many people do you know that own a bit of the Roman empire?
