Place Saint Louis


This is a place where I used to live in Metz (Lorraine, France). It's currently being renovated.
When I look at this picture I trully feel this is still middle age.
In the middle age, under the arcades, 60 bankers were installed, the former name of the place "place des Changes" recalls this activity.

Gargoyle


I like this one, very creepy, strange creature ready to jump.
In architecture, gargoyles are the carved terminations to spouts which convey water away from the sides of buildings. The term originates from the French gargouille, originally the throat or gullet.
A local legend that sprang up around the name of St. Romanus ("Romain") (631 – 641 A.D.), the former chancellor of the Merovingian king Clotaire II who was made bishop of Rouen, relates how he delivered the country around Rouen from a monster called Gargouille, having the creature captured by the only volunteer, a condemned man. The gargoyle's grotesque form was said to scare off evil spirits so they were used for protection. In commemoration of St. Romain the Archbishops of Rouen were granted the right to set a prisoner free on the day that the reliquary of the saint was carried in procession.
