Manor houses, houses and houses in France

We have grouped here the habitat of the little nobility, devolved to cadets and relatives of the great noble families. Two types are distinguished:

Manor houses and houses, whose income depended on the exploitation of the land
Strong houses, whose revenues were from a toll

It would be interesting to compare the maps to see that the term manor or logis is used in the plain, while the term manor is used in the mountainous region.
For clarity, we have separated them into 3 sub-categories:

Manors
Houses Strong
Logis


NB: For regions that have not been regrouped, namely Bretagne, Centre-Val-de-Loire, Corse, Île-de-France, Pays-de-la-Loire and Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur, you must not use the navigation opposite, but by the "classic" route below to discover the subcategories of your department.
