A Characteristic Cobblestone Street among Half-Timbered Houses in the Petite France District

The photograph shows a typical street in the Petite France district on a bright sunny day. The Alsatian half-timbered houses, perfectly preserved, overlook the cobblestone street creating an old-world atmosphere. The white facades with dark wooden load-bearing structures, sloping roofs with dormers, artisan signs and flower pots characterize this picturesque corner. The district takes its name from the Hospice des Véroles, a hospital for syphilis patients founded in the 15th century. Today these streets house artisan workshops, typical restaurants and souvenir shops that attract millions of tourists every year.
