Alsace House Style
There has been and there remains today a strong Germanic influence on the architecture found in the Alsace region of France. Alsace house types and the materials used can be categorized in the wide German «pan de bois» (half-timbering) architectural family. This architectural family uses many local symbols and decorations. These symbols appear on porches, doors and on the pieces of wood used to make the half-timbered walls.
Due to the climate the roof of the typical Alsace property is predominantly steeply pitched (up to 60 degrees) and the typical roof covering is flat clay tiles (tuiles écaille alsaciennes) which are specific to the Alsace and neighbouring areas of north eastern France. Tuiles écaille alsaciennes tiles are also called “queue-de-castor” tiles, this refers to their shape, similar to that of a beaver tail. This type of tiles is also common in the Jura, Savoie, southern Germany and in Switzerland.
Houses in the Alsace plains traditionally have an enclosed courtyard not directly accessible from the street and are traditionally positioned next to each other, forming almost neverending streets. Houses in the Outre-Forêt and Sundgau areas of Alsace posess open courtyards and are of a monobloc construction style.

Strasbourg Main Cathedral - A Handmade Miracle
Strasbourg Cathedral or the Cathedral of Our Lady of Strasbourg (French: Cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-Strasbourg, German: Liebfrauenmünster zu Straßburg) is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Strasbourg, France. Although considerable parts of it are still in Romanesque architecture, it is widely considered to be among the finest examples of high, or late, Gothic architecture. Erwin von Steinbach is credited for major contributions from 1277 to his death in 1318.
European Parliament in Strasbourg
As you all know, Strasbourg is the capital of Europe because we have here a lot of European Institutions such like Europen Court of Human Rights, Council of Europe and The European Parliament.
The European Parliament (EP) is elected by the citizens of the European Union to represent their interests. Its origins go back to the 1950s and the founding treaties, and since 1979 its members have been directly elected by the people they represent.Elections are held every five years, and every EU citizen is entitled to vote, and to stand as a candidate, wherever they live in the EU. The latest elections were in June 2009. Parliament thus expresses the democratic will of the Union's citizens (more than 490 million people), and represents their interests in discussions with the other EU institutions. The present parliament has 736 members from all 27 EU countries.
Strasbourg's St Paul Church
St Paul's Church was built between 1892 and 1897 by the architect Louis Muller (1842 - 1898), to be used as the protestant garrison church for the German army, after the annexation of Alsace to the German Empire in 1871.
situated in the center of Strasbourg St Paul is under construction at the moment, but is still available for visits.

Chisinau's walls
This inscription refers to a special day. June 22nd 1941 is the day when the Great Patriotic War started in Moldova. From that day, a lot of Moldovans have been deportated by the Soviets. Bessarabia (here "Basarabei" in romanian), which is an old area located in the south-east of Europe, lost about 900 000 people during that war.
This inscription litteraly means : 22nd June 1941 - Trouble begins for Bessarabia

Elections day in Moldova
Today, the population of the Republic of Moldova voted to elect their new president. We don't know much right now about who's going to succeed to Vladimir Voronin. Here's a picture of a graffiti that I took in Chisinau. It is the logo for an anti-communist organization. This inscription means PCRM, Communist Parti of Republica Moldova. We can notice on this picture the opposition from the two graffitis : the red one is a pro-communist, while the blue one is a liberal one.
Chisinau's Memorial
This building is located in Chisinau, Moldova. It was built in order to commemorate all the foreign soldiers who died during World War II in Moldova. There are also a lot of couples who drop by the memorial with flowers on their wedding day.

What a thin building !
It is located in Strasbourg, next to Place Broglie where you can find many fancy clothes shops, and this building quite reminds me of a scene in one of the Harry Potter movies...

La Petite France fleurie
Cette photo est prise sur la place Benjamin Zix où chaque touriste se rend pour admirer les maisons Alsaciennes, chacune unique dans sa couleur, sa taille, et sa forme. Comme on le remarque, chaque maison est composée de branches parallèles et perpendiculaires. On retrouve également des maisons comme celles-ci en Allemagne.
