Straight out of a fairy tale - HFF

These old thatched cottages are most beautiful and really picturesque, but I wouldn't like to have such a roof over my head - the upkeep must be considerable!

TOUT DROIT SORTI D'UN CONTE DE FEES... Ces vieilles chaumières sont toujours très belles et vraiment pittoresques, mais je n'aimerais pas avoir un tel toit au-dessus de la tête, l'entretien doit être considérable !

DIREKT AUS EINEM MÄRCHEN... Diese alten Reetdachhäuser sind immer wunderschön und wirklich malerisch, aber ich möchte nicht so ein Dach über dem Kopf haben, der Unterhalt muss beträchtlich sein !

Beautiful, romantic image. It is rather surprising that there are people who know how to construct and maintain in these days. HFF Best wishes

Christa1004 ^club has replied to Dinesh ^club

Thanks Dinesh, I think it depends the region. For example here in France, in Normandy you can still find those roofs while in other regions they are unknown.
