Window shopping

Well, it is the season, innit... The Christmas market opens next Wednesday, with hordes of tourists... 3.3 millions last year.... Chaos. It's been snowing since yesterday.

More b&w right...here.

This tree

Seen last Tuesday near my cardiologist's office. Straight out of Tolkien... No, the tree did not walk away!

Armand Gaston Maximilien de Rohan's place

The Prince-archbishop de Rohan's palace, built in 1732. Just next to the cathedral. And to the free public toilet. More about it here.

To the top

As long as I remember, and I've spent half of my life here, there have always been ongoing works on the cathedral. Pollution and bird poo destroy everything, making the pink sandstone turn black. You can go up to a platform, 66 metres up, through a very narrow staircase, 330 steps. Therefore, a lift for the workers.
