These buildings are not ordinary houses: they can cost anywhere from approximately US$200,000 to over US$1 million, depending on the size, design, and extravagant decor that each owner chooses for their building. 🎨 Architecture with Personality Cholets stand out not only for their vibrant colors but also for how they combine uses: the ground floor houses commercial spaces, the intermediate floors contain event spaces and apartments, and the elegant owner's residence is located on the top floor.
