context
The sentence in which the word is used would be of great help!
"Charolais" is a region in central France (famous inter alia for a breed of cattle), so if there is a particular architectural style specific to this region, it could be called "Charolais", just as you have "Breton", "Norman", "Provencal", "Alsatian", etc. architectural styles. I don't know offhand what it could be, however.
"Charolais" would stay "Charolais" in English, assuming the context makes it clear it is the region, otherwise you are in for a translator's note ...

: Yes, property adverts often talk about a Charolaise = typical Charolais house (whatever that's supposed to mean...) // Umm... wrong region, Alex!

A place in which to wear one's charentaises and drink one's calvados and cognac, maybe?

: "a translator's note" would probably be a good idea unless solidly contextualized: in the US, at least, "Charolais" is, first and foremost, a breed of cow.
