Riquewihr, 2023: 2

 Continuing our visit to Riquewihr...

Ever more floral up-cycling

A cul-de-sac in the former ghetto (pogroms in the
14th and 15th centuries)

Now a museum

Of interest manly because in the upper right you can see houses
and such built right into the city wall

Ever-popular European torture museum

13th century wall



Another tower/portal

Avec portcullis



Interesting ancient signage above a house with a--click to enlarge--
danse macabre representation; a couple weeks later we'd see a major
danse macabre in a parish church in Burgundy; stay tuned

Beautiful half-timbereds all over

Further confirmation...

Love what they do with the vines

Still processing this one, although we're pretty
sure part of it is Renaissance

More storks

Another street scene, with the little Hotel de Ville at the end

Medieval torture instruments?

The touristy crap is there, if not very conspicuous

Loaded pretzels (loaded with ham and cheese)

And others, differently loaded; and the ever-popular kugelhop cake

You would have made a good Knight, Mark! The pretzels and other goodies look delicious.
