Over Our Heads


Rooves are a big issue in France. Laws restrict the type of roof that can be put on a house; the builders must respect "le style local" in material and, more surprisingly, slant. In our part of the French countryside, slate dominates , and to some reinforces the area's chilly reputation. In the Southern part of Aveyron, around Millau, red tile is prevalent.
