How do you say cottage in french?

However, "chalet" can sometimes also refer to a mountain cabin or a small house in the Alps.

If you want to be more specific and refer to a small, cozy house in the countryside, you can use the following:

* "petite maison" (small house)

* "maison de campagne" (country house)

* "maisonnette" (small house, often with a charming or quaint feel)

The best word to use depends on the context and the specific type of cottage you're referring to.
