villages of France
" Quintessential France these days would look like a village in Algeria. "
No surprise, Algerian architecture had a lot of french influence from 19th century to 1962. Algiers has a lot of french achitecture.

True, although I actually had in mind the colour of the people inhabiting the architecture.

Parle pour toi, idiote. Les villages de France sont beaux parce qu'ils ne sont pas encore tiers-mondisés ! Partout où les races inférieures s'installent, tout devient laid et sale. Que ce soit à Marseille, à Birmingham ou à Malmö.

Bonjour l'orthographe! Pratiquement une faute d'accord par substantif. Avant d'immigrer en France, quelle langue apprenais-tu à l'école ?

____________________________ Le français, je suis née en France, débile. T'arrives pas à te faire à l'idée que des français de "souche" puissent défendre et apprécier des français d'origine étrangère ou quoi ? :) Tout le monde n'est pas une grande folle raciste comme toi. Il y a aussi des gens intelligents en France, tu sais.

Yes, but you aren't among them.

shut up! You are the most stupid guy at this forum. All your posts are brainless, racist and insulting. Shame on you imbecil!
Well, to come back to the topic, and to avoid racists discussions, I find this
that resume well the subject. http://www.cijoint.fr/cj200905/cijHvWqbFS.jpg concerning the french vernacular architecture, the more obvious and visible variation in aspects concerns mainly the roofs: we can distinguish mainly three kind of rooftops in french villages: - The slate roofs (blue on the map): found mainly in North-west and loire Valley (but also in Paris city), and in moutains (parts of pyrenees, Alps, Limousin), and aslo in Ardennes near Belgian border. (slate roofs are found in other regions mainly for official or aristocratic buildings, but not for common housing.) - The flat clay roofs (in brown): found mainly in central-north regions (Ile-de-France, Burgondy, Centre...) but also in some part of the south such as Dordogne. These roofs have a brown color, and, like the slate roofs they have a strong angle (45° or more) which give them a more "northern aspect". - The "tuile canal", or "roman tile" (in orange), is more widely spread in many different regions (Vendée, Poitou-charentes, Aquitaine, Midi-pyrénés, Languedoc, Provence, Rhone-Alpes, Corsica, Auvergne, parts of Limousin, and even parts of Lorraine). Derived from the roman roofs, they have a low angle (less than 30°), and show a tipically reddish color than can vary withing the different regions. This is what most people would associate with a southern European kind of architecture, because they are widely spread in Spain, Portugal, Italy, parts of balkans and Greece.
Very nice, guest guest, Thank you. I enjoyed this illustration.
In the foregoing photos, I was looking for the Blue Slate Rooves on white buildings, typical (in my mind) of what constitutes the quintessential French look. Now I've found it! :-)
I guess all this means that to the outsider, buildings in Northwest France look the most "quintessentially French".
Interesting thread, BTW |
