How French Houses Reveal Where You Are

French Teacher Carlito
About this episode

Imagine standing in a French village and looking at a house before anyone tells you where you are. 

The stone, the roof, the shutters, the windows and the colors are already giving you clues.

In this episode, we travel through Brittany, the Basque Country, Alsace and Normandy and discover how regional houses can reveal climate, history, materials, light and ways of life.  

You will learn to look at French architecture differently and see how a simple façade can become a clue to understanding a region.
