Among the world's finest vernacular buildings, French farmhouses give to France's many regions much of their distinctive character and charm. Tlie French Farmhouse is a book to be enjoyed by everyone interested in France, in old houses, or in the countryside; but it is essential reading for those who either own or wish to buy a house in France. In addition to describing the rich variety of regional architectural styles, this book explains in detail how farmhouses were built and furnished and the life that was lived inside them, showing always their intimate connection with the soil. Eighty-five colour and thirty black-and-white photographs, as well as three hundred line drawings, accompany this informative and highly readable narrative - the most complete account of France's traditional farmhouse ever published in one volume.
