neutral  Tony M: Probably not here! Note that 'plaster' translates 'plâtre', while 'crépi' can be many different kinds of 'render' — which from what they describe here, is I think probably more likely what it is.

In case you want to know how to do it, the ingredients listed below make it very clear that this isn't plaster: not that anyone would plaster external walls.

"Le crépi est le revêtement extérieur le plus utilisé pour couvrir la partie extérieure du mur de béton qui forme la fondation de la maison. Le solage est enduit de goudron, pour la partie qui ce trouve sous le sol, mais ce qui est visible hors du sol est le ciment moulé dans le coffrage qui n'est pas vraiment décoratif. Le crépi extérieur sert à lui donner une meilleure allure.

Les matériaux et les outils dont vous aurez besoin sont, du ciment, du sable, une truelle de métal, une éponge, un seau et un boyau d'arrosage."
