Eaves in France

In France, eaves (called "avant-toit" or "corniche") are commonly used in both traditional and modern homes to protect the walls from water damage and provide shade from the sun. They serve a similar purpose to those in the UK and other regions, offering both functional and aesthetic benefits.

1. Rain Protection: Prevents rain from splashing onto the walls or foundation.
2. Energy Efficiency: Helps maintain temperature regulation within the house by shading the walls.
3. Aesthetic Styling: Enhances the visual appeal of a house, complementing the overall design of the home.
