Airial

In the Moors of Gascogne, one indicates by airial a clearing in the middle of the main forest which gathers some houses and their dependences (barn, sheep-fold, hen house…).

Presentation

Landscape of the airial section today with that of the Forest of the Moors. Here, not of pines but some oaks, often centenaries, and sometimes a umbrella pine symbolizing the property. Several airiaux constitutes what one calls the “districts”: small hamlets isolated and with the variation from the villages.

It is around the airial that the fields cultivated on naturally drained sandy grounds were gathered (moors dry) and fertilized by the manure of the sheep which nourished vegetation of the Moors of Gascogne. This agricultural model started with péricliter since the law of June 19th, 1857 which started the systematic plantation of the communal moors in maritime pines, then disappeared at the following day from the Second world war.
