never pass a pisser, never trust a fart, never waste a stiffy.
So this is the fountain in one of the other corners of the square and also the impressive Hotel De Ville. The square also houses the Opera House, the Museum De Beau Arts (which was closed) and then bars and restaurants – to sit and people-watch…
The Hotel De Ville
And the side road opposite the cathedral led us to Place Stanislas – and oh my goodness – it’s BEAUTIFUL ❤️
The iron gates painted in black and gold at the four corners of the square are just exquisite !!!
And there are lovely fountains accompanying two corners of the square…
Even the street lamps have been decorated in the same design…
So we had something to eat & headed for Place Stanislas (considered to be the prettiest square in the whole of France 🇫🇷 ) and across the road was this grey, weird building that reminded me of the monster in “Monsters Inc” with loads of eyes 👀
Dave liked it, however & named it the “Eyelash Building” 🤷♀️ and popped it on the blog…
We then passed an impressive looking building & Dave took a photo & asked Google what it was & it was Notre Dame Cathedral ✝️
I’ve been a little lax for the past couple of months so in we went… However, it was having huge renovations with loads of scaffolding & all the statues covered in sheets which was a bit of a shame but I still had a quick word with the Man Upstairs 🙏
Had a saunter out on the bikes and found it’s a nice area. Very reminiscent of the uk moors. With rugged coast line though. We tried to find a bar about 25 mins cycle ride away but in typical tour fashion the sat nav sent us up some unridable track so we had to turn back. Defeated. But it’s nice to get our for an hour!
