Is this France or Ireland? The largest indoor structure in Pre-Columbian America was/is Pueblo Bonito in Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, USA. It had 500 rooms. Chaco Canyon is very difficult to get to, accessible on the last lap (after hundreds of miles of driving on narrow two-lane highways) by a ten mile washboard gravel-dirt road from the north or by a twenty mile pocked, boulder-strewn, treacherous four-wheel drive path from the south. Chaco Canyon is, in other words, out in the middle of nowhere. The effort, the travail, the solitude, the breath-taking splendor, the final escape from civilization into the wild, wild were all shattered by blue skies etched continually by the fuel streams of passenger jets flying overhead. There is no unbroken sky anywhere on the planet, except Antarctica?

This picture was taken in Caylus, SW France.
There used to be sky-writing (mostly to advertise such things as Pepsi-Cola).
Awful.
