A cottage in Berry...

Tuesday, November 29, 2005.

Generally, the "Berrichonne" typical house is low.
The door opens onto a big room. In a corner, near a window, there is the kitchen.
In the middle of the room, there is the living-room and the dining room. One long table with two benches furnish the centre. Two armchairs are in front of the fireplace.



Against the wall, the plates and dishes are displayed in the "Vaissellier". This is a cupboard in two parts. The top part is with shelves where the delicate and decorative plates are exposed.









There is also a clock called "Comtoise", with a pendulum. It strikes the time, the quarter past, the half past and the quarter to.

There is also a bedroom and a bathroom, there is sometimes a loft (grenier).
In front of the house, there is a small garden with flower-pots.
