You might refer to those "roman-tile roofs" (or "tuiles canal" in french) on low-inclined roofs that are typical from mediterranean/southern Europe. These are not restricted in the southernmost areas of France. Lyon is as far south as Milan, Verona or Venice by the way...
30km from my home there is the switch from the high-inclined slate-roofs typical of northwestern France to the Roman tiles more tipical from the south:
Chinon (town close to my home):
While in the cities less than 20km to the south we begin to have roman tile (canal) roofings:

Yes, I was referring to those Roman style roofs. I think you showed a map sometime where the borders between styles are. Lyon was comfortably in the mediterranean style area.
We don't have those here. Our old buldings are built in a Northern German fashion.
Compare these pictures between Hamburg and Helsinki:

Yes, It seems Helsinki would easily confused for a northern German city for foreign eyes as mine! I'm you could notince more differences. I can't say which ones are from germany and which ones are from Finalnd actually. I guess that Helsinki was part of the Hanseatic League ?

Both right - it's St. Augustine, Florida, the Lightner Museum .
However, they are a bit older than the 1930's...it was built in 1881.
hehe knew it :P i even wanted to say its St Augustine
