Maison Renaissance

Close-up on very old City Halls. Impossible to suit wider. I used the wide-angle lens to try to obtain a big width of field.
The immediate environment did not present big interest, I tried to restore the most interesting architectural part for me.

Its beautiful frontage rises in arc of circle, with the angle of the streets Notre-Dame and St Mélaine, with the foot of the unused church of Notre-Dame of the scales. A double stone cord in light projection underlines the stages. The ground floor, at the stones corroded by the bad weather, preserved a door at the right lintel, where some mutilated elements of carved decoration remain. Pilasters, with the characteristic capitals, frame two large superimposed windows, with small squares, which lost their mullions for a long time. In north, a rectangular tower, capped of a slate pyramid, lit by three small openings with projecting entablature, formed a unit with the building. It contains a spiral staircase of stone in a cage which is, it, on circular level. All this unit has still outside great pace.
