Best Medieval House Ever, So Far

So you round the bow of the cathedral and enter a beautiful square and there before you...
Is the House of Adam, a late Medieval structure, now, at
street level, a gift shoppe



















But what really catches your eye are the wonderful carvings
rising in the wood from street to the sky




















Thus


















And thus


















And thus


















And thus (my favorite)


















The south side, more weathered


















The west side, less


















And facing the cathedral, the Pride of Angers...

We were in Angers last summer and somehow missed this house...love the carvings! What a hoot.
Our GPS called the city angers...as in mad. We got such a kick out of her pronunciations. Any town with the prefix of St. (as in Saint), she called street.
