Work on the typical houses of Brittany

Rennes, the capital of Brittany, shows us the oldest Breton examples of half-timbered houses. During our lessons in Arts the third class reconstructed the half-timbered houses, which you can see in the city of Rennes. 

 

We had to use fine strips of thick paper to reproduce the various structures and decorations of these houses. We can see wooden beams and decorations as cross of St. Andrew (only under windows).

Then we colored the houses in the typical colors.

When we finished our houses, we put them side by side and recreated Middle-Ages Breton street.
