Stone on wooden boards - they sometimes use chestnut tree pegs in lieu of nails 
- and the scales effect - gravity and weight other stones laid atop the first 
row, etc.

the slope of the roof is not steep at all, which may help, 35% max

When building steeper roofs they use slates, or wooden chips or nowadays zinc 
;-)

mortier = concrete

If you're interesting in roofs, I may have photos of vegetal roofs in Norway - 
sheep occasionally graze on them …
