EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the unique scene of Shepherds of Les Landes in south-western France, practicing their age-old tradition of using stilts to keep an eye on their flocks in the late 1800s. Dating back to the 16th century, this method of shepherding, known as "pastourelle à pie," was essential in the marshy and forested region of Les Landes, where the ground was often too soft and wet to walk on without sinking. The shepherds, dressed in traditional clothing, can be seen balancing gracefully on their wooden stilts, each one carrying a staff for added support. Their flocks of sheep graze peacefully below, oblivious to their shepherds' unusual vantage point. The vast, open landscape stretches out behind them, dotted with trees and small farmhouses. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the rich agricultural heritage of south-western France. The practice of stilt shepherding was passed down through generations, but began to decline in the early 20th century as more modern farming methods became popular. Today, it is considered a valuable piece of cultural heritage, and efforts are being made to preserve this unique tradition. The Shepherds of Les Landes and their flocks have been an integral part of the region's history for centuries. This photograph serves as a testament to their resilience, ingenuity, and deep connection to the land. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving our past and the traditions that shape our identity.
