Townhouse

Life in a townhouse

Urban living doesn’t necessarily mean apartment living. It’s perfectly possible to stay close to schools and local shops while enjoying life in your own house!

In France, houses are more likely to prompt thoughts of a rural or coastal home, rather than a home in the heart of the city and just a short walk from the nearest metro station. But many of France’s largest cities – including Lille, Nantes, Lyon, Strasbourg, Rennes, and even Paris – have single family houses that are well worth a closer look. Perfect for family life, townhouses are urban terraced houses on two or more floors, and some even have gardens. So a townhouse shares one or more walls with neighbouring homes.
