In a French property what is chaux?

esrea france

In a French real estate property visit you may hear the an owner talking about ‘chaux’ on the walls, so what is ‘chaux’?

When I heard owners say this before I bought my first French village home I heard the word ‘chaud’ which is the French word for ‘hot’. So I thought the owners meant the walls were warm. I was wrong.

‘Chaux’ is in fact lime that is used on exposed stone walls.
