Dolphin 🐬
This is supposed to be a dolphin... Not many dolphins around here, the closest sea is hundreds of km away... Nice restaurant sign anyway.

Au coin des pucelles
Meaning: to the virgin's corner. A good restaurant in the centre. But, I have another reason to post this, I don't want to promote a business... Someone removed the letter I in the word coin, corner, which totally changed the meaning... Au con des pucelles = to the virgin's...cunt. Naughty naughty...
It's situated at the corner of the virgin's street, the virgin Mary.

The old wine market
Known as the frog ditch during the 14th century. No wine sold there anymore. And no frogs around either.

Apples
A billionaire's shop on the main square, next to some coffee company based in Seattle. As a coffee aficionado, I avoid the place.
Among other news, Apple just got fined 150 million euros in France for abuse of dominant position... My phone is Android, my desktop PC and my laptop are both with Windows...

Rue du sanglier 🐗
Boar street. No boars around, the name came from the evolution of a 13th century old German family name. The street was part of the roman fort, under the reign of emperor Caius Julius Caesar Augustus.
A very good restaurant nearby, btw!
