In the village of Les Aillons, fall under the charm of these Savoyard houses !

Rectangular, massive...

First the roof... immense and uneven, extending beyond the façade.

Then the balconies, covered in snow in the winter and covered in flowers in summer, uprights made from naturally curved tree trunks and suspended from the roof.

The barns take up the largest part of the house as they contain the hay necessary to feed the animals through the 6 months of the winter.

The water trough was essential in the past when there were no wash basins !

The doors and windows are typically Baujues :
A single window with two shutters or a small barred window.
