Cabornes
« Caborne » is the vernacular word used in the Lyon city region, France, to name ancient dry-stones huts that could found in the neighboring massif of the Monts d’Or. Dry-stones huts developed in France a lot at the 18th-19th centuries and are no as old as we could first think. This flourishing age is due to the encouragement of the French Kingdom to clear some forestal domains and later to the development of small vineyard and access to the private property for little farming. Those « cabornes » were constructed following empirical rules and know-how of « caborniers », masons and quarrymen. Quarries of limestone in the Monts d’Or are still visible and gave the materials of most of the buildings erected in Lyon in the past.
Today the « cabornes » attract visitors with their ingenuity and rustic charm, often integrated into hiking trails. They evoke a sense of nostalgia and connection to nature, reinforcing regional and cultural identity. Associations of volunteers are organizing initiatives to inventory, restore and rediscovered the ancestral technics of dry-stone construction.
Dry-stone huts are also found in Portugal, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Scotland and Finland as temporary shelter for shepherds and their animals, permanent habitations for monks or agricultural workers, storage and cheese making, etc.
Intrigued by these « cabornes », I decided to visit two diffferents trails in the Monts d’Or on August 23 and 25, 2025 where « cabornes » are visible. I was equipped of my French range-finder FOCA PF3 camera (year 1954, see the details about the camera and the lens below) loaded with an Adox Scala 50 film. The Oplar 1/2.8 f=5cm standard lens was equipped for most of the views with a FOCA Orange x4 filter and a cylindrical generic shade hood (Genaco).
Expositions were determined for 25 ISO to compensate the absorption of the Orange filter (not the x4 coefficient due to the enhanced sensitivity of the film in the red). Metering was achieved using a Minolta Autometer III lightmeter fitted with a 10° finder for selective metering privileging the shadow areas, but too much to avoid high-lights saturation, or also in the incident-light mode with the integrating opal dome of the Autometer.

After completion at view Nr. 38, the film was rewound normally and processed using 400 mL of stock solution of Adox Atomal 49 developer for 8min30 at 20°C.
Digitizing was made using a Sony A7 camera (ILCE-7, 24MP) fitted to a Minolta Auto Bellows III with the Minolta slide duplication accessory and Minolta Macro Bellow lens 1:3.5 f=50mm. The diffuse light source was a LED panel CineStill Cine-lite.
The RAW files obtained were inverted within the latest version available of Adobe Lightroom Classic (version 14.5 of August 2025) and edited to the final jpeg pictures without intermediate file. They are presented either as printer files with a frame or the full size JPEG's together with documentary smartphone color pictures taken during my walks.
About the camera and the lens:
This French FOCA camera type « PF3 » or ***, was made in Châteaudun, Eure, France, year 1954.
I got the set from a French dealer on eBay , including the camera and its normal lens OPLAR 1:2.8 f=5cm, a rare ever-ready bag Ref 120-503 « Luxe » with a upper compartment for three 42mm push-on filters. The bag is made of a pork leather and was in 1950 three times more expensive than a normal ever-ready bag. The set also included a FOCA view finder covering the field of a 3,5cm focal lens in its original grey and rd small FOCA box, a soft neoprene FOCA hood, three 42mm FOCA filters yellow x2.5, green x3.5, and orange x4. The kit also included a (used?) roll of Kodachrome-64 (DX-coded canister).
According to the serial number in 401.xxx, this PF3 should be a model-1 (version 5 or 6).
The camera was used very carefully and has been probably well serviced in the past. The OPLAR normal lens 1:2.8 f=5cm is a model-3 version-3 from 1954 too with the "ECD/9" diaphragm graduation 2.8...3.5...9....18.
The camera was originally sold to its first owner by « Photo-Plait » in Paris, France, one of the most important photo store, founded in 1910 and editing a well-know catalog of camera's for mail-order selling in France and overseas. Then the camera could have been sold either in the Photo-Plait store, 35-39, rue Lafayette, Paris 9ème or by mail-order selling.

The Tripartite class is a class of minehunters developed from an agreement between the navies of Belgium, France and the Netherlands. A total of 35 ships were constructed for the three navies. The class was constructed in the 1980s–1990s in all three countries, using a mix of minehunting, electrical and propulsion systems from the three member nations. In France, where they are known as the Éridan class they are primarily used as minehunters.
FS Cassiopée was laid down 26 March 1979, launched 26 September 1981 and commissioned 5 May 1984. She was decommissioned in 2022.
In France the class is known as the Éridan class. Each hull was created from fibreglass, moulded in a steel shell. The hulls were 51.6 metres (169 ft 3 in) long overall with a beam of 8.9 metres (29 ft 2 in) and a draught of 3.8 metres (12 ft 6 in). The ships had a standard displacement of 571 tonnes (562 long tons) and 605 t (595 long tons) at full load. This later increased to 625 t (615 long tons) at full load. A 5.1 tonnes (5 long tons) container can be stored aboard the ships for additional supply room. The minehunters had an initial complement of 55, this was later reduced to 49.
The Éridan-class minehunters have two independent propulsion systems. In normal operations the minehunters are powered by a 1,400-kilowatt (1,900 bhp) Brons-Werkspoor (later Wärtsilä) A-RUB 215V-12 diesel engine turning one shaft with a LIPS controllable pitch propeller. Using the conventional system, the minehunters have a maximum speed of 15 knots (28 km/h; 17 mph) and a range of 3,000 nautical miles (5,600 km; 3,500 mi) at 12 knots (22 km/h; 14 mph). For use when minehunting the vessels have two 180 kW (240 hp) ACEC active rudders and a bow thruster. These are energised by three Astazou IVB gas turbine alternators rated at 150 kW. A fourth diesel-driven alternator rated at 160 kW supplies power during normal operations. Both systems can be operated from the bridge or from a soundproof control centre above the main deck. The maximum speed using the minehunting propulsion system that can be achieved is 7 knots (13 km/h; 8.1 mph).
The minehunters were equipped with DUBM 21B sonar that could detect and classify ground and moored mines to a range of 80 metres (260 ft). The sonar was retracted during normal operations. The vessel was also equipped with Racal Decca 1229 radar. The vessels carried two ECA PAP 104 remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs). In 2001, the minesweepers underwent modernisation and the sonar was replaced with the TUS 2022 Mk III type, the radar with the Bridgemaster E250 type and a TSM 2061 combat data system and a Bofors Double Eagle Mk2 ROV were fitted.
The Éridan class is armed with one 20 mm modèle F2 gun capable of firing 720 rounds per minute to a range of 2 kilometres (1.2 mi). The minehunters also mount one 12.7 mm (0.5 in) machine gun and two 7.62 mm (0.30 in) machine guns. The French vessels have limited minesweeping ability and were initially only fitted with mechanical sweep gear. In 1985, the Éridan class received AP4 acoustic sweep gear.
The initial order of ten was constructed for the French Navy in the 1980s by the Arsenal de Lorient. After the sale of Sagittaire to Pakistan in 1992, a replacement hull bearing the same name and hull number was constructed. Three Belgian versions of the class were acquired between March and August 1997.
Andrés Pizarro (Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank), Anne-Lise Cœur-Bizot (RATP Group), Bronwen Thornton (Walk21 Foundation), Kyung Suk Kim (Research Institute Korean Expressway Corporation), Mohamed Hegazy (Climate Champions), and Rodrigo Da Costa (EUSPA) explores how transport providers assess and prioritise climate risks to infrastructure, while tackling the interlinked challenges of climate resilience and biodiversity protection during the session “Developing Climate-Resilient, Nature-based Transport Infrastructure”. This session is held during the International Transport Forum’s 2025 Summit on “Transport Resilience to Global Shocks” on 21 May 2025 in Leipzig.
