Typical style? Totally amazing. Are the old, or are they being built currently with an historic look? I like the trend here. At least we've gotten over much of the horrible architecture of the 50s, 60s and 70s.
If that's typical, I'd like to see how the non-typical people live :-) I love the brickwork. The roof appears to be slate, so I'm guessing they are pretty old (here in the US you rarely see new slate roof's). The cornerstones look very fresh, perhaps recently painted? Did I mention I like the photograph too? I could stare at the details for hours.
Ah ! Montreuil où ma fille a eu une chambre chez l'habitant dans une maison de ce type ! C'était pas bien grand, un peu maison à l'anglaise, mais très sympa. Le cadrage incliné accentue l'effet de répétition qui fait le charme du quartier.
J'aime bien ces vieilles maisons! j'ai toujours envie de voir comment c'est aménagé à l'interieur, notamment dans les petites tours..Et c'est très nordiste comme architecture par rapport à ici.
@ all wondering about these houses: they are only partly brick, the rest is meulière stone (for more info click on the label "meulière" beneath the post.
These meulière houses, mostly built at the turn of the last century, are pretty common in Montreuil neighbourhood which was a rural part of Versailles before the city's expansion East began. So yes, they are quite typical but not all of them have such pretty details and turrets.

Typical houses of residential Montreuil neighbourhood.
Very nice looking houses and an interesting way to shoot them. Have a great week.

ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous, Ciel. Incredible facades. I'll bet they are expensive, though!
ReplyDeleteInteresting and decorative design elements on them.
ReplyDeleteoh, look at these, the brick work and roofs are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very nice typical! I especially like the detailing on those roofs.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's typical?! It's very pretty. Is this neighborhood unusual from other neighborhoods, or why is this style typical for it?
ReplyDeleteIf that's typical, I'd like to see how the non-typical people live :-)

I like the brickwork!
ReplyDeleteThe buildings look like they are raring back and ready to strike something. I fear for the delicate brickwork.
ReplyDeleteSome good examples of the bricklayers skill here.
ReplyDeletesuperbe cette maison en pierre, toute une époque, j'adore
ReplyDeleteIf these are typical I'll be back in Versailles next summer...
ReplyDeleteles maçons ne construisent plus de maison aussi compliquée ; il faut dire qu'il ont déjà joué au lego tout petit

I've never seen anything like this. Fascinating! I'll be "Googling" Montreuil soon to get the scoop on the architecture.
ReplyDeleteOn ne doit pas parler du même Montreuil :-) J'retrouve pas l'architecture
ReplyDeleteWhat a neighborhood! I would love to explore these streets.
ReplyDeleteJ'aime bien ces vieilles maisons! j'ai toujours envie de voir comment c'est aménagé à l'interieur, notamment dans les petites tours..Et c'est très nordiste comme architecture par rapport à ici.
ReplyDeletePS: et c'est trop mimi les petites étoiles quand on bouge la souris!!ça fait magique!Ü
ReplyDeleteOn ne voit pas trop de maisons en brique en France. Elles sont jolies.
ReplyDelete«Louis» remembers that Montreuil has a distinctive style of architecture as witnessed by these houses.

All those angles make for an interesting shot.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Rebecca. All those lines and angles, what a pleasant place to let the mind wander astray. Well snapped!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting architecture.
ReplyDeleteThat's some fun and kinda quirky architecture! Great colors!
ReplyDeleteI like these houses. Beautiful color. MB
ReplyDeleteTant de recherches dans les details.
ReplyDeleteLes temps sont revolus pour de si jolies constructions!
Love the turrets! These are very pretty.
