Just outside the city of Paris, one can find stately manors and chateaus with tall arched windows, a steep roof, and on occasion, a tower. These homes embody the old world styles of French Provincial and French Country. Many of these homes were built in the 1600s and 1700s by French aristocrats in Normandy, Brittany, and Provence. In the U.S., these homes can be seen in the suburbs established in between the world wars. Most recently, these have appeared in upper-priced echelons and communities. This style puts a premium on stonework and elegant interiors to truly capture the royal-like style.
