Champagne Ardenne Brick and Chalk Houses

Champagne Ardenne is the perfect place if you want to see brick and chalk houses. At the crossroads between Picardy and Lorraine regions of France and their architectural styles, these traditional houses have been influenced both by their location and by the nature of the soil, that provides construction material.

Some Champagne Ardenne chalk houses are also partially half-timbered, with the front façade of the house being made of chalk and the rear of the house being half-timbered.

Chalk houses are generally very luminous (because of many windows) with their windows’ frames being made with red bricks. The roof is tiled and red too. The bricks give a very prestigious aspect to these traditional French houses.

The aspect of traditional Champagne Ardenne houses is in fact much more determined by the colour of the timber frames than by the colour of the bricks (see on the image above how the red frames modify the aspect).
This has to be taken into account while planning a restoration to keep the traditional aspect of the house. Thus, local French regulatory bodies or administrations could ask you to modify any unsympathetic amendment made to the property.
