Architecture in Lorraine.
A typical Lorraine Village consists of clustered housing. This comes from an old practice. It is known as a street-village.
On the houses the first thing that people often notice the most are the big barn doors. These doors tend lead to the garden and the stable attached to the barn in the back. Unlike an american kitchen, a windowless kitchen is traditional in Lorraine. It is placed in between the two bedrooms. One of the bedrooms will usually look out into the garden and the other out into the street. The reasoning of this placing is to keep the bedrooms warmer.
