In the Hautes Vosges mountain region the typical houses are farmhouses built out of red sandstone with a wide façade and a carriage entrance under a semi-circular arch.
The interior is divided into different specific areas: the farmer’s living quarters, the barn, the stable and an immense hayloft.

the Lorraine plateau is where you will find "street villages" composed of long rows of terrace houses on each side of a single wide street, each house being built on a long, narrow plot;

the Vôge habitat is scattered, and specifically in the Val d'Ajol region, the typical buildings are houses with lava tile roofs and "chalots" (little chalet barns) (Internet sites: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/lepaysduchalot et http://perso.wanadoo.fr/lalavedegres) : built entirely out of wood and used to store grain, they are usually genuine annexes to the farmhouses in the southern areas;
