Origin and history

Troo's troglodytic village is a remarkable site in the municipality of Troo, in the Centre-Val de Loire region. This type of monument, characterized by houses dug directly into the rock, is evidence of a human occupation adapted to local natural resources. Troglodytes, often associated with ancient times, offer an overview of traditional lifestyles and ingenious construction techniques.

In the Centre-Val de Loire region, troglodytic habitats were commonly used for their natural insulation and weather protection. These spaces were often used as housing, storage places or even workshops for local people. Although the exact period of creation of the village of Troo is not specified, this type of structure reflects a long tradition of adaptation to limestone, typical of this part of France.
