VEILLES FACADE d'HONFLEUR…

#AbFav_FACADES_ 🏠

The port, le Vieux Bassin, is bordered on three sides by buildings of two distinct styles; large stone houses on the Southside (Quai Saint-Etienne) and high and narrow wooden houses to the North (Quai Sainte Catherine).
Both are named after the churches that stand on their grounds.
Behind these quarters rises the Eglise Sainte Catherine, the largest wooden church in France, built by the ship carpenters of Honfleur shortly after the 100 years war.
A law required that the first houses built could not exceed 7.62 metres on the ground floor and not be more than 3 stories tall.
Yet a few decades later, because of its economic and demographic development, Honfleur was facing a serious housing crisis.
For lack of space, houses were then built one on top of the other.
In fact, these buildings were essentially like two adjoining ones, only instead of being built side by side; they were built on top of one another: the base house had its first floor on the bank, while the second one also had a first floor but it gave onto the opposite hill.
On one side, St. Catherine Quay, they rise to narrow slate-and-timber heights of five to seven stories, housing restaurants or galleries in the ground floors.
Full of lots of small shops, boutiques, deli’s, bigger and smaller Art venues.

AAHHH, les belles, vieilles façades!!!
