Earlier today I picked up this French language book about the architecture of Normandy called la maison rurale en Normandie - 1. la haute normanie. Rural houses in upper Normandy. for just £1.00 in a local charity shop.
The book is full of line illustrations of both houses and structures - just the sort of book I love for inspiration when building terrain. I've searched for it on the internet but have only found a couple of copies each being sold for over 10 Euros.
A real bargain.

Excellent find! Considering the amount of wargames set in Normandy, this seems very useful.
I googled around, and there is apparently a Basse-Normandie version which would be even MORE useful to many wargamers. $9.29 to buy it digitally from Google play, which also has a 10 page preview. There are also other volumes for other parts of France.
Fabulous find, plenty of ideas for scratchbuilding I suspect, I live 11klm from the border and the Normandy regions do have its own unique look that is for sure from department to department.
Cheers

I've been reading it via my phone translator and can confirm that there's loads of information that is relevant to building scratch built wargame terrain. I look forward to reading more.
