Cow street (Rue des Vaches)
Cow street (Rue des Vaches)

Why the cow's head? We live on Cow Street (Rue des Vaches). Yes, when we tell our French acquaintances they laugh. How many can boast they live on Cow Street? 

 

See the white obelisk behind the sign. It is a memorial to the dead of WWI, then WW2. Every town in France has one. If you go into Google Maps and ask for the street view it will put you on the N3/D1003 in front of the obelisk, with our house (top photo) up the hill a bit. Rotate the Googlemap and you can see 360°. Frankly I take better pictures than that but it's free!
