Gable(d) roof Explanation: The "aigües" are the two sloping sides. You'd better check it does actually have a gable at the end, but on a church I imagine that it does. |

gable roof/pitched roof Explanation: It means that there are two sides to the roof. Gabled roofs are the kind young children typically draw. They have two sloping sides that come together at a ridge, creating end walls with a triangular extension, called a gable, at the top. The house shown here has two gable roofs and two dormers, each with gable roofs of their own. The slant, or pitch, of the gables varies, an inconsistency that many builders try to avoid. http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/photos/0,,1213138,00.html http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=991744&langi... pitched roof n.
