Architectural heritage, the half-timbered houses of Dreux give all the soul of its town centre. This very Western architectural mode became the norm from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. It was at this time that the Italian fashion for straight, white facades made half-timbered houses with "corbelling" look rustic and primitive.

Corbelling is a nice word that comes from a desire to pay less tax. Indeed, in the glorious times of the Kingdom of France, the tax was calculated from the floor area. Thus, on each floor, the owners of the house could gain a few centimeters on the street, while paying as much tax.
