Chaumière (Saint-Nazaire, Pays de la Loire, France) - Thatch Cottages on Waymarking.com

[FR] Maison d'habitation de type chaumière située à Pornichet.
La chaumière est une maison rurale traditionnelle de l'Europe septentrionale et occidentale, qui tire son nom de sa toiture recouverte de chaume (paille de blé ou de seigle, tiges de roseaux selon le cas). On la trouve principalement dans les pays du nord et du nord ouest de l'Europe : Îles Britanniques, Pays-Bas, Allemagne, Danemark, ainsi que dans le nord-ouest de la France, essentiellement en Normandie et, dans une moindre mesure, en Bretagne. Il existe cependant des régions plus méridionales où elle est présente dans un espace limité, comme la Camargue, la Brière, ou à des endroits où une présence historique est attestée, comme autrefois au Québec, principalement pour les bâtiments de ferme, héritage datant de l'époque de la Nouvelle-France encore présent au début du XXème siècle.
[EN] Typical thatched cottage house located in Pornichet.
The cottage is a traditional rural house in northern and western Europe, which takes its name from its thatched roof (wheat or rye straw, reed stalks, as the case may be). It is mainly found in the countries of northern and northwestern Europe: the British Isles, the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, as well as in northwestern France, mainly in Normandy and, to a lesser extent, in Brittany. However, there are more southern regions where it is present in a limited space, like the Camargue, the Brière, or in places where a historical presence is attested, as formerly in Quebec, mainly for farm buildings, a legacy dating back to time of New France still present at the beginning of the twentieth century.
