In this paper, I tried to make clear the histrical meanings and functions of "maison de plaisance", that was a country house-style of late baroque-rococo in France and Germany. From this viewpoint, one can say that the remarkable book is "De la distribution des maison de plaisance et de la decoration des edifices en general (2.vol.,1737-38)" of Jacques-Francois Blondel (1705-1774), who was one of the most important French architectural theorists in the 18th century. The notion of "maison de plaisance" is connected with" bienseance(convenance)", "commodite", "distribution", "economic" and "variete". They make the turning point of architectural thought from 17th century to 18th century. In other words, the "maison de plaisance" also characterizes one of social changes in the "Ancien Regime". Firstly, I treat of the problem of the original notion of "maison de plaisance" in France. Secondly, I discuss the adoption of "maison de plaisance" in Germany. In conclusion consequently, I publish to more profund investigation of the transformation in architectural thought between France and Germany.
