While the bombing had devastated many buildings, some were able to resist the German attack. Some date from the th century. At 7, rue du Pont-de-Boulogne, the corbel floor is maintained by a beam carved with drolatiques heads. At 13, place du Du and at 1, Place Clemenceau, corbel floors and above all the angle of these two arteries, a pretty sculpture represents a pilgrim of Santiago de Compostela. At 76, Chaussée's pavement, an sculpted door opens a house also on the corbel. Dating from the 2nd century, the Auberge L'Etoile Inn at, Chaussée chaussée carries on its wall this inscription: Pax huic domui (farewell blessing of a high priest who is satisfied with his hosts).
What is a corbel? This is the position of a construction (balcony, corniche, turret) on a wall supported by crows or consoles.
