Vézelay Abbey
The ones who have not yet received the Word of God are not quite human: some are dwarfes... -
Château de Chenonceau
Every room had its own fireplace, making the castle rather cosy. This is a detail on the fireplace in Chambre de François Ier. -
Château de Chambord
The vaulted ceilings in the 2nd floor: F as the initials of François Ier and plenty of salamanders, some eating the good fire and others putting out the bad fire. Just don't know which are which. -
Bayeux Cathedral
One of the many 12th century carvings in the cathedral. This one depicts a man with a monkey. -
Court of the Lions
The Court was built by Muhammad V around 1380. -
Bayeux Cathedral
12th century carving. I see a lion and an eagle carrying a fish. But it may also be a lion and a griffin. -
Bayeux Cathedral
Some more lions/griffons/creatures higher up, but the most notable are the Bayeux lovers underneath them.
