Longère

The house longère is a very widespread rural dwelling in many French areas, built in length, turning the back on the wind, with materials of local origin (granite in Western Brittany for example). One finds some in all the west and the center of France, in particular in Brittany, Normandy, Picardy, in the Maine-et-Loire, the Pas-de-Calais, the Cantal, the Lozere or the the Pyrenees ariégeoises. But also in Ile de France. Constituting villages in alignments, this type of habitat is generally associated with a type of exploitation of the ground in the form of opened fields, and strongly impregnated of Community practices.
