Éguisheim's super-slim houses
Tumblr media
Just a few kilometres to the South-West of Colmar is the village of Éguisheim, with a preserved Medieval centre, featuring gorgeous timber-framed houses. Some of these are the daintiest, slimmest houses you can find!
Tumblr media
It begs the questions "why?" and "how did people live in them?" Well, in some places with similar thin houses, taxes have been the reason, as residences were taxed based on how far they extended on the street, with few restrictions on height and depth. Heck, here's an example in Colmar that doesn't have any footprint on the street: the Muckekaschtele, or "fly box house". It has a surface of 25 m², but it wasn't originally used as a home - it was a watchtower to make sure people were paying customs when bringing goods to market.
Tumblr media
I'm not sure if that's what's at play in Éguisheim, it just looks like they're making the most of the space available between streets. In any case, they're charming and eanred Éguisheim the title of "France's Favourite Village", a poll organised by public TV channel France 2, in 2013. Éguisheim's more historic claim to fame is having been the birth place of Pope Leo IX (reigned 1049-1054).

#Repost @kojonomai_56 • • • • • • Pont-Audemer Petite balade dans les rues de Pont-Audemer, avec ses vieilles bâtisses à colombages et ses petits canaux auprès desquels étaient autrefois installées tanneries et papeteries. En fond, le clocher de l'église Saint-Ouen. Après la guerre de cent ans, on entreprit de reconstruire l'église romane, endommagée et plus "à la page" en cette époque du gothique flamboyant. Mais les guerres de religion interrompirent le chantier : de cathédrale il n'y eut point... L'église restera en l'état, avec son cœur roman et son clocher gothique privé de flèche. La ville a décidément beaucoup de charme, et j'espère un jour avoir plus de temps sur place pour explorer les ruelles et découvrir les courettes dissimulées derrière les portes cochères.
