This Tiny House Tour in France is a guest post by Chris Wenban of Tiny Footprint
On my last tiny tour (https://tinyhousetalk.com/tiny-house-tour-in-france/) I was disappointed to have missed out on a couple of tiny stops, luckily I had the chance to make another visit back to Paris so here we have Tiny House Tour France Part Deux!
Barrel Tiny House, La Brosse
I set off in my tiny red Fiat 500 to find the Roulotte (Caravan) in La Brosse, a tiny hamlet near the ancient village of Janvry, south-east of Paris. There are 3 ‘Barrel’ houses in the grounds of the Domaine de Marguerite and this idyllic place is certainly an alternative to the hustle and bustle of central Paris if you want something a little different. I had seen this tiny house in tinyhousetalk.com previously so thanks to Alex for the tip!

While spending time with family in Europe I was fortunate to find myself with a week to spare. I have a good friend in Paris and decided to be multi-functional (as all good tiny obsessives are) and arrange a tiny house tour in France, culminating in a tiny themed weekend in Paris.
Via the wonders of google I managed to find 2 tiny houses to stay in relatively close to each other to the west of Paris near Nantes, this also happens to be the home region of Baluchon who have been one of the key ground-breakers and tiny house builders in the movement in France. With a tiny hire car, a Renault Twizy, I left Paris Charles de Gaulle airport and headed west toward Bretagne (Brittany) and the Loire Valley, not to find castles, but to find tiny houses.

It features a unique wardrobe and pantry system that I think you should see. Basically, they’re on casters but easily hide away and blend in like cabinets. Never thought of that! I thought you might like it. The house is built by Tiny House Lumen and is offered at 39,500 euros (approximately $48,532 USD).
This is the Little Prince Tiny House on Wheels (Le Petit Prince) by Baluchon, a tiny home builder out of France.
The tiny house The Little Prince is the first tiny house we make with a blanket and partial zinc cladding. Zinc is a durable material (life span of 80 to 100 years) waterproof, malleable and very aesthetic.1

It features a side entry and large dormers to give you extra spaciousness in the loft. What do you think? Could this be a design that you can live in year-round?

This is the La Boheme tiny house on wheels that sleeps four by Baluchon.
Its architecture is reminiscent of the shape of a small traditional house while integrating a good dose of modernity thanks to its large window with small wood and its luminous porch.1
