%X Dans l¡¯imaginaire collectif, la   maison coloniale   ¨¦voque une grande demeure, confortable et luxueuse, mais la r¨¦alit¨¦ est souvent diff¨¦rente. De nombreuses maisons de ma tre restent somme toute assez modestes et ressemblent plus ¨¤ des fermes fran aises moyennes qu¡¯¨¤ des chateaux. Il existe une multitude de plans de distribution int¨¦rieure, mais certaines analogies semblent indiquer que des plans type ont circul¨¦, de la Guyane ¨¤ la Louisiane, en passant par la Martinique, la Guadeloupe, Saint-Domingue et la partie orientale de l¡¯ le de Cuba. Cette ¨¦tude typologique nous permettra aussi d¡¯¨¦voquer le processus d¡¯adaptation au climat avec l¡¯apparition des galeries et des persiennes et d¡¯en comprendre le d¨¦veloppement. Nous parlerons enfin des cuisines et des jardins, ¨¦l¨¦ments indispensables ¨¤ la vie domestique. 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. The study of such typologies will allow us also to understand their development and highlight the adaptation process to the climate through the appearance of galleries and shutters. Finally we will quickly talk about the kitchens and the gardens which were essential elements of the domestic life in a colonial plantation.
