Four regions to recognize: La Bretagne, Le Pays Basque, L’Alsace and La Normandie, with the visual clues that make each regional style distinctive.

5 key French words: Le granit, L’ardoise, Un colombage, Un toit pentu, Une façade.

A simple question to ask: « Qu’est-ce que cette maison me raconte sur la région ? »

A small action: Choose a region and practice with « Je vois du granit et un toit en ardoise. Je suis peut-être en Bretagne. »
