Perremenguier can be found in the woodland of the commune of Sainte-Anastasie (Var, Provence). The toponym remains unexplained but contains the root element pierre (“stone” or “rock”). This uneven site is representative of the hilly Provençal terrain, a non-institutional but emblematic territorial component, managed according to collectively-established customs and habits since at least the late Middle Ages. Developed using drystone construction, the lands of Perremenguier functioned according to these ancestral rules, and were used in various ways depending upon the season and conditions. The lifestyles they evoke hardly seem out of date, yet abandoned since the 1950s, the site was recently acquired by the municipality, which would like to promote a rural heritage that is still recognisable and appreciated.
