Nous sommes arrivés dans la ville par le quartier universitaire et au bout des rangées d'immeubles, une maison comme je les aime... malheureusement pas entretenue, au jardin abandonné... je l'imagine cossue et splendide, au milieu d'un immense domaine, il y a deux siècles, ou même plus.
We arrived in the city through the campus and university areas, and at the far end of the big buildings, my kind of house... unfortunately not maintained, its garden untended... I imagine it was wealthy and gorgeous, on a wide domain, two centuries ago or even more.

A sight in the center, this little building behind a church furiously reminds me of Bratislava !


Le saint patron de la ville, St Florian - The patron saint of the city, St Florian

The main square, the Rynek. The magnificent building on the right was unfortunately being renovated and covered with scaffolding, and the pastry shop where I had eaten scrumptious cakes had been relocated elsewhere...

Une des très nombreuses églises de la ville. Si je me souviens bien, il y en a plus de 200.
One of the many churches in the city. If I remember well, there are more than 200 of them.

Then after visiting the castle, we go downhill towards the center again.

Overlooking the Vistula - I had photographed the same 16 years ago, I should scan it and play the game "Spot the 7 differences"

I had also taken a picture of these towers - I wouldn't have recognized them, so black and sooty were they !! The various industries and the lack of maintenance after the war and in the communist era had really left this national heritage in a pitiful state ! Actually I could recognize it because of the number of the windows and their layouts.

Still going down towards the center... another church - or even a more important religious building ?

A suivre... avec en prime des anecdotes sur les élèves et leur comportement.
To be continued... anecdotes about our students' behavior included.

Merci pour le visite à Polonia. C'est une belle ville historique. Je m'imagine qu'il y existe un air de tristesse aujourd'hui à cause de la mort du président. Quel événement émouvant.
