French Colonial a style of architecture used by the French during colonization. Many former French colonies, especially those in South-East Asia, have previously been reluctant to promote their colonial architecture as an asset for tourism; however, in recent times, the new-generation of local authorities have somewhat 'embraced' the architecture.

Famous quotes containing the words french and/or colonial:
“Much that is urged on us new parents is useless, because we didn’t really choose it. It was pushed on us. It—whether it be Raffi videos, French lessons, or the complete works of Brazelton—might be just right for you and your particular child. But it is only right when you feel that it is. You know your family best; you decide.”
—Sonia Taitz (20th century)
“The North will at least preserve your flesh for you; Northerners are pale for good and all. There’s very little difference between a dead Swede and a young man who’s had a bad night. But the Colonial is full of maggots the day after he gets off the boat.”
—Louis-Ferdinand Céline (1894–1961)
