| description | In everybody’s imagination, the « colonial house » evoked a big, comfortable luxurious mansion. However, the reality was often different and most of such houses were rather modest and looked like our average French farms rather than our castles. There were various models of interior structures, but certain analogies seem to indicate that standard typologies circulated from Guyana to Louisiana, through Martinique, Guadeloupe, Santo Domingo and the eastern part of Cuba.

Finally we will quickly talk about the kitchens and the gardens which were essential elements of the domestic life in a colonial plantation. |
