marianne - Dec, 02 2007 03:12pm David, This is a recently, though not VERY recently built village. People did not want to live in the kasbah any longer, but in proper houses. This is not a very good idea because concrete / brick houses are very hot in summer and very cold in winter. (Moroccan houses seldom have heating) The pisé houses have a constant temperature. Migrant workers who went to France brought back money totheir villages but also new ideas about housing.
