French Colonial homes can still be found around the world. Here's a look at the top five houses you need to check out on your next trip.
A traditional French colonial house can be found in the heart of Vero Beach, Florida. The property boasts narrow windows, wide balcony, French doors and shutters that make them look like they were built from several years ago.
Frisco, Texas also has one French colonial-inspired property that boasts hinged shutters, built-in bookshelves and a balcony. According to House Beautiful, this house is actually listed for rent for individuals and small families who want to stay in Texas for a few days, months or even years.
Meanwhile, Los Angeles is also home to some of the nicest French colonial houses, but this one in Madisonville is truly unlike any other.
"French colonial homes built on acreage are often called plantation homes. They often come with luxuriously wide porches that are perfect for sipping lemonade and taking in the breeze," the publication noted.
In New Orleans, Los Angeles also lies another French colonial property that has a beautiful view and walkway.
"Like many French colonial homes in New Orleans, this mini-estate features a garden oasis - it's a beautiful sight to behold when gazing out of the tall windows (flanked by stately shutters, of course)," the site said.
A South Carolina home may look old at first, but a second and closer look will show you that the property is one of the best French colonial houses you can find in the area too. It is specifically located in Charleston, South Carolina.
If you happen to be in the United States and would like to look out for these properties, do so when the sun is up and the weather is nice for it will make up for a good walk.
