What is a "barouche"?
A barouche is a type of horse-drawn carriage with a large, open passenger compartment and a folding or removable roof. It typically has four wheels and seating for four or more people, with the driver sitting at the front on a separate seat. The passengers in the back are usually seated facing each other. Barouches were popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, especially for leisurely rides or social events, providing comfort and style. The design allows for an enjoyable open-air experience, while the roof can be used for protection from the weather.
