House of the Three Flutes

Let’s make a quick stop here and turn right to observe the building we’ve just passed, right at the corner of Rue Joyeuse and Rue Bourbonnoux. Now, this house has a very special feature: its corner post is adorned with three carved flutes! Pretty unique, right? There’s no point in looking for an explanation, as even historians have no idea why they’re there… But one thing’s for sure: these three flutes are a real eye-catcher. Above them, you can also see the city’s coat of arms, with three fleurs-de-lys and three sheep on a blue background.
