"Exploring the Secret Tunnel Network of an 800-Year-Old Abandoned Home in France"

Archaeologists in Distré, France, uncovered a network of hidden tunnels at an 800-year-old site, revealing an agricultural community from the Middle Ages with evidence of farming and cattle raising. The tunnels, extending for about 160 feet with five different rooms, were likely used for storage and possibly for holding small livestock, and could have served a defensive purpose. The site also featured a water well and extensive storage facilities, indicating it may have served as a collection point for larger agricultural operations. Excavations and analysis of the site are ongoing.
