DISCOVERY : The beautiful houses of Carladez The village of Albinhac conceals houses with typical Carladez facades. The habitat has used the valley, a real variation of the relief to find the best exposure. The houses are facing away from the wind, the cold and the snow. On the plateau, the farms take refuge behind mounds and curtains of trees. The architecture of Carladez is of high quality. Elegant although monumental, it resembles that of the Cantal. The stones of the country, especially basalt, but also schist and granite and river sand are used as materials. The roofs with long and sloping sides are covered with lava slates and have several dormer windows. The chimney flues are several meters high. As for the barns, they are built with large blocks with openings framed in granite. They often have a porch canopy and small truncated roofs on the gables.
