Pink

The Strasbourg cathedral was built out of pink sandstone from the mountain range nearby, the Vosges. Pollution blackened it, cleaning is been done for as long as I can remember. A Sisyphus kind of task...

Red barrel street

Street named after an inn, Zum roten Faesslein, 1636 AD. This is the current name, since 1945, although the name changed 18 times since 1275AD. As a reminder, Strasbourg was founded in the year 8 BC, 2033 years ago by roman soldiers, but people were living here long before. When was your town founded?

Among others names, we have a Preaching Fox street, rue du renard prechant... More about it later.
