Basilisk
The basilisk, Schönlaterngasse 7. According to a myth, on 26 June 1212, the servant of a baker discovered a basilisk at the bottom of the well in the courtyard. He destroyed it by holding a mirror to it (looking into its eyes was known to be fatal). The basilisk exploded. Now I know where JK got her ideas from.

The old town of Antibes is full of interesting details. This is one of them.
