The traditional roof in Provence is the terracotta tile roof. These pictures show the detail and construction of how they are made. Triangular rafters are laid down from the top of the roof to the sides of the house. Then the semi-circular tiles are laid between the rafters. The spaces are then covered with another layer of tiles turned over, and the whole thing is now a waterproof roof.
