WHAT IS FRENCH WINDOW?

In France, they’re known as portes-fenêtres, which means ‘windowed doors’ or ‘door-sized windows’. As the translation suggests, some French windows can be tall enough to walk through, like a door. And just like a French Door, they operate by making use of a primary and secondary leaf, so that both casement sashes can be opened. A true French window, however, is much narrower than the wider, more commonly used doors and has more elegant proportions.
