Yes, this is a French house and we are looking for a French car.
Sure, it looks just like my neighbours' house when I was a teenager...
The interesting things happened there when you just weren't a teenager anymore, and it was not in Niort.
Niort? I left that place forever when I was only a month old, Wendax (apparently, there are too many infos about anyone of us on the internet...)
I have no idea about the place and car, though, but I 'd say it dates from the 1970s
