We couldn't see what he was talking about, but he kept pointing impatiently at some decrepit vestige of a house and saying it was half-timbered, half-fallen-down. And we thought of how kids in Canada, echoing the warning cries loggers would make when felling a tree, would yell "Timber" -- and it all made sense. It was, indeed, a half-timbered house, but not of the kind we were thinking! Your example is much closer. . .materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-53978901962115551382007-08-24T16:35:00.000+02:002007-08-24T16:35:00.000+02:00This photo jumped right into my memories because I...This photo jumped right into my memories because I have a photo of these buildings from a 2006 walk. I think there is a plaque on the front of the house with historical information, in French bien sur. I neglected to photograph the plaque. I can read, in my shot, the street names a coin de rue Francois-Miron and rue Cloche Perce.

I lived down the street from the Arènes de Lutèce, and in the other direction is the Musée de Cluny. The building across the street from where I lived had a plaque on it that said 1865. Here in Richmond, there would be all sorts of historical preservation! Don't touch it! It's historical! That 1865 building in Paris? A verrerie with apartments over it. Why? Because 1865 isn't really old in Paris.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-4633481782341571292007-08-24T11:08:00.000+02:002007-08-24T11:08:00.000+02:00WE missed seeing these buildings.
