The older style of houses is so pretty. Why do they need to do this?

J is very excited to see “archetology” such as this.
I’m not sure I’d want to buy a house where this was found… hmm 🤔

Well, seems there is another builder with a similar last name.
As this tower was built in this century, I think Poret has more historical significance. 😬

Merci for your explanation! As an American married to a person of 🇫🇷 descent, I don’t always understand terms, yet, to my knowledge I should have known better having understood Latin in Catholic schooling. 😬

Hi,
Gallus, the Latin word for coq, is a pun on Gaule, Latin for what is now France. The coq has been used since early medieval times, when they still spoke Latin here, and probably reflects that. Or so I’ve been told.
Cheers,
Keith

I’m pretty sure they’re greylag geese. Nice shot in any case.
