Hello Friends,
Today, we will see the typical Normand fireplace.
Mine is only 40 years old it is to say a new one, a copy of
The existing fireplaces in our thatched houses.
At the end of the post I found some photos of antique ones.
They were mostly made with bricks.
Ours is in between two smaller windows and takes most of one wall.
The typical houses were dark, because of small windows and lots of wood decoration.
Beams on ceiling on fireplace mantel...
In my living room I have a big oak wooden stair.
In fact typical Normand house were mostly « longeres «
It is to say long houses with no first floor and communicating rooms. Not very easy to live in.
This is one of the typical house, this one is a thatched house with one first floor. On top of the thatched roof there are iris
I hope you enjoyed the visit. Have a nice day.
