France is dominated by old stone houses, but in the last several years, building wooden houses has become a major trend, with books and magazines devoted to the subject. Many French builders look to North America for inspiration on building wooden homes, but two brothers in the South of France have built a business creating tropical-style houses on the Cap-Ferret shore...
Tropical Wooden Eco-Houses In The South Of France
Cap-Ferret, France
The Bartherotte borthers build made-to-measure pine eco-houses using only natural materials that look exotic on the outside, but still very French on the inside, with a cozy French style.

Dude, I love the hammock idea! I love the idea of tropics. I love the idea of tropical FRANCE. I love French cuisine! I love food in general. I love so many things. Argh.

Aie aie aie... Cap-Ferret (read the article...), in southwestern France. Not at ALL the same thing as southeastern Cap Ferrat, on which these would be impossible to build (there's no more land to build on; what's not already built up is open to the public).

Outside I do not like the home---seems like a place to eat lunch in the tropics. Inside seems OK for that off the cuff beach house look. Never been to South France---if this is what it looks like now a days, perhaps I will stay home!
