"Wait for me" - Between Rue de la Cité and Rue Clemenceau This humorous and poetic work by the same sculptor as "La Ribambelle joyeuse", the Belgian artist Tom Frantzen, known for his creations that cross the line between the real and the fantastic, was installed on the old swing bridge at the end of 2018 and shows a small dog scaring a group of birds, causing them to fly away. The group is reminiscent of the cranes that fly over the Aube department every year. The artist has worked in harmony with the site, so that the movement fits in and adds lightness to these heavy bronze sculptures.

Definitely worth reading and studying. You always learn something.

Troyes Cathedral (in French: Cathédrale Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul de Troyes) is the main religious building in the French city of Troyes. The cathedral is dedicated to the holy apostles Peter and Paul. Construction of the cathedral began in 1208 and was not completed until the 17th century, in the Gothic style. The church is the seat of the bishopric of Troyes in the Roman Catholic Church. In 1420, the cathedral was the solemn meeting place for the signing of the Treaty of Troyes. Nine years later, Joan of Arc visited the cathedral when she accompanied King Charles VII to Reims. The building was protected as immovable heritage and was given the status of a French classified monument historique in 1862.

The impressive Troyes Cathedral was begun in the 12th century and completed in the 17th century. The structure is truly impressive. Don't miss a visit to the interior.

A "chemin de halage", in German "treidelpfad", which runs alongside the waterway right next to the bed of the river or canal, was an indispensable part of the transport infrastructure in earlier times. Before ships could move using motor power, horses ran along the bank and pulled the ship against the current. This was called "treideln", and this is how the "treidelpfads" got their name, which has been passed down to this day. Where these paths directly on the bank have been preserved, they are often used by hikers and cyclists.

The cathedral in Troyes was dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul (SAINTS PIERRE et PAUL), also known as the "Prince of the Apostles." Their common feast day in the calendar of saints is June 29th. * Simon, nicknamed Peter (Rock), was a fisherman on the Sea of Galilee when he, along with his brother Andrew, was called by Jesus Christ to be a "fisher of men." According to Catholic understanding, he is the highest apostle, and the two-millennia-long line of popes—currently Francis—follows his succession. In statues and paintings, Peter is almost always depicted with two keys in his hand; this attribute refers to the biblical passage in Matthew: "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." (Chapter 16, Verse 19). * Paul was initially an opponent of the Christian movement and, unlike the other apostles, was not called to the apostleship by Jesus Christ during his lifetime. Instead, he was converted later with the famous "Damascus Experience." His attribute is the sword with which he was executed. According to Roman law at the time, such a sentence was a "privilege" (a quick death, not a long, painful death struggle like other forms of execution) reserved for the citizens of Rome.

The quarter-hour chime is very, very unusual. This is due to the very old bells that strike it. Where are you from? - I'm from Troyes. What do people do there? - They ring the bells there: This saying was true throughout France for six centuries! Source: https://www.jschweitzer.fr/la-religion/les-cloches/
