Photos

One year todays since I registered on TE ! One year to discover Earth through this little window TE is. One year to add names to my list of places I will have to go to ! And, I hope so, one year to add names for all of yours ;)
For this birthday here is a photo of one of my favourites place in Nantes, the town that adopted me ten years ago : the Passage Pommeraye. Small resume from Wikipedia : The Passage Pommeraye is a small shopping mall in central Nantes, France, named after its property developer, Louis Pommeraye. Construction started at the end of 1840 and was completed on 4 July 1843. The Passage Pommeraye is a passage between two streets, the rue Santeuil and rue de la Fosse, with one 9.40 m higher than the other. Midway, there is a flight of steps and the mall then continues on another floor. Two architects, Jean-Baptiste Buron and Hippolyte Durand Gasselin, contributed to its design, which is very elaborate and includes renaissance style sculptures. The Passage Pommeraye has been classified as a historic monument since 1976. The Passage Pommeray used as settings for films by the french film-maker Jacques Demy. The photo was taken on a sunday afternoon, it's unusual to see this place so desert !
