covered terrace
This one (très chic) is on the terrace:

It really is meant for sleeping out in the summer. But it could be a partially enclosed verandah also. Where is this house?

This looks like a covered terrace to me :-) and is quite separate from the main building. But I would check to see whether it is really this that your text is referring to.

: The text refers to it as an 'outdoor room' (chambre extérieure).

Sorry misunderstood you - yes it's referred to as a chambre extérieure and a chambre d'été - but I understood that Asker wanted to know what it was, porch etc.

Michele Fauble
: More than a porch, an 'outdoor room' (currently becoming very popular). //Yes, a porch furnished like a room (e.g. with a bed) becomes an 'outdoor room'.

FYI a porch is outdoor and moustiquaires are screens

Dr Sue Levy (X)
: IMO according to what the French call a "chambre d'été" must be a porch or verandah or terrace arranged for sleeping out in the summer. In Oz it's called it a sleepout!

Basically it an ordinary room used often as a bedroom but you change the decoration in summer or winter or just according to the season.
It could easily have a verandah or porch if the house has been built with one added on to that particular room. It's used for guests or as a spare room for anything. It does not necessarily have extra sun in summer. That would depend on exposition.

Following your note, this house is protected by UNESCO and has been renovated but pictures are not yet available. I would go for Summer Room still. You would have to check with the architect to find out if they\'ve added a verandah or porch.

Can I give you points without accepting your answer? Of course, your answer was the best help, it just wasn't a "covered terrace", that was my problem. Can I change it so that you get 4 points for the website? I would gladly do it. Thanks
