Rue de General de Gaulle (every French town worth its salt has one!) is also the main street in Paimpont village and is lined with three storey terraced houses on both sides. The houses on the north side have gardens that give on to the esplanade with the lake beyond and most of them have these two-storied garages. The space above is storage and/or a workshop... or just occasionally, guest accommodation - I like them, they have a lot of character.
A bit like Kennedy Avenue here. Right now there is a trend towards overbig houses (my opinion) and many build above the garages for workshops of family rooms. I like cozier.
hit my heart with melancholy too
