Timber-framed houses
Place du Change, “the Apothecary’s House”. A timber-framed construction with three-storeys of decorative corbels topped by a slate-covered gable. Wooden beams and statuettes on its facade. These days it houses a restaurant.

Did you know?
On certain houses the number plaques contain the letter “P”. These plaques (black numbers on white background) date back to pre 19th century. The letter “P” stands for “puits” which means water well, and is therefore practical in case of fire!
