haven't got one.... Explanation: It means that the living-room doesn't have any rooms above it, that the landing (or, as we call it in my house cos I've got one, the mezzanine) gives directly onto the living-room downstairs, whose ceiling is the landing-ceiling too if you see what I mean???... |

overlooking Explanation: So the "dégagement" (corridor, landing, etc.) forms a sort of gallery along at least part of the upper part of the living room wall. |
