The Ministère de la Culture's notice

A Besançon, la culture de la vigne a eu une grande importance dès le Moyen Age. Elle a investi les versants des collines où subsistent des murets de soutènement et quelques cabanes en pierre sèche, les cabordes. Ces dernières figurent sur le plan cadastral de 1834. La caborde qui subsiste sur le versant sud-est de la colline de Planoise est de plan circulaire, comme c'est généralement le cas, mais elle intègre le muret de soutènement d'une vigne dans sa face antérieure. Elle se trouve en partie enterrée dans la parcelle supérieure. Elle est couverte d'une coupole en tas-de-charge en forme de clocher débordant le mur. A l'intérieur, le mur s'incurve à partir du sol.

At Besançon, vine cultivation had great importance from the Middle Ages. It invested the slopes of the hills where survive retaining walls and a few dry stone cabins, the cabordes. These latter appear on the 1834 cadastral plan. The caborde which survives on the south-east slope of the Planoise hill is of circular plan, as is generally the case, but it integrates the retaining wall of a vineyard in its front face. It is partly buried in the upper parcel. It is covered with a dome of stone voussoirs in the form of a bell tower overhanging the wall. Inside, the wall curves from ground level.
