Both things are perfectly valid in Windows, though sometimes 
applications are not able to properly handle either.

The problem is more likely that the initial "/home/Régis Perdreau" 
folder has been mapped in his cygwin installation to a non-writeable 
folder in Windows (or not recommended to be written to by applications).
Windows and Linux/Unix (and in extension macOS) simply have different 
convention for these kind of things. And using something like cygwin 
unfortunately seems to be masking those conventions in unfavorable ways...
