Historic Streets of The World

 

Rue du Petit-Champlain, Quebec City, Canada

Although Quebec City isn't short of romantic streets, Rue du Petit-Champlain has to be the prettiest, especially come Christmastime when it's generally covered in snow. One of the oldest commercial streets in North America, it's now a pedestrian-only boulevard located at the foot of the cliff below the Château Frontenac. Named after Samuel de Champlain, who founded Quebec City in 1608, the charming street is home to boutique shops and family-owned restaurants, many of which have been here for decades.

National Anthem Everyday in this Village

I BOUGHT 10 ASPARAGUS AT THE STORE BUT WHEN I GOT HOME I REALIZED I HAD 11.

It was just a spare, I guess.

Historic Streets of the World

 

Quai de la Poissonnerie, Colmar, France

Nestled among vineyards, Colmar is a dreamy collection of quaint medieval houses, canals and floral displays – and Quai de la Poissonnerie, which runs alongside the Launch River, is like something out of a fairy tale. Visitors usually take a boat trip or admire the half-timbered fishermen's houses on a casual stroll, pausing at one of the bridges to drink in the view.

MY WIFE ACCUSED ME OF STEALING HER THESAURUS.

This accusation has made me dumbfounded, awestricken, flabbergasted, stupefied and quite frankly, bewildered.

Historic Streets in the World

 


The Shambles, York, UK

Dating back to medieval times, The Shambles in York is known for its beautifully preserved Elizabethan buildings with overhanging timber frames. A narrow, cobbled lane, The Shambles was once a street full of butchers' shops and you can still see the hooks and wide shelves on which they would have displayed their produce. Today you'll find plenty of charming cafés and boutique shops in their place.

Historic Streets in the World

 


Heerstraße, Bonn, Germany

For much of the year this street in the German city of Bonn is just a pretty cobbled residential road – however, during the Kirschblütenfest (the Cherry Blossom Festival) there's an incredibly beautiful cherry blossom display. The locals take the festival very seriously and enjoy the live music events, countless food stalls and pretty lights illuminating the trees
