It is a feature of houses in france that they have shutters. One is obliged by law to close them if you leave thehouse for more than a day or the home insurance is invalidated.
It also seems to be a feature of our house that the space behind the folded back (open) shutters is a preferred place for over wntering mini beasts. Hereare some. LOL
A Shield Bug. He went for a ride on our car, so it seemed only polite to take his photo afterwards.
I found one on my bag when we got home a few days after this. I got it to crawl onto my fingers, and got it out of the window. Not sure I'd have done that if I'd known they are also called 'Stink Bugs'.

My dad adds that this is a "hawthorn shieldbug final (or 5th) instar".
