A mid-20th century building façade covered with small square mosaic tiles. The structure has three levels with simple rectangular windows framed in wood and concrete. The ground floor includes a wooden garage door, a main entrance door with geometric patterns, and a closed shutter. The overall look is plain yet balanced, with a touch of retro elegance.
Building, place du Trichon
Red brick house with blue woodwork. Architecture from the 1930s, or perhaps even earlier.
A building set at the corner of two streets, shaped like a triangle reminiscent of a “flatiron.” Its façade is made of dark brick, with several openings either bricked up or sealed with metal shutters. On the ground floor, a glass-panelled door with decorative details stands at the pointed tip of the building, framed by a lighter plaster section contrasting with the brick. Electrical cables run across the façade, and a streetlamp juts out above. On the sidewalk, trash bins and a traffic sign complete the scene. The overall impression is one of abandonment, a place where time seems to have stopped.
Mmodest early 20th-century residential building with a decorative brick façade in red and white. The upper floors feature arched and rectangular windows fitted with white roller shutters and framed by patterned brickwork, with wrought-iron balconies painted dark red. The cornice is supported by carved wooden brackets, adding ornamental detail. The ground floor contrasts with light vertical paneling, a row of windows with curtains, and a dark red entrance door. The overall appearance combines functional design with small decorative touches typical of working-class urban architecture.
