An old harbour along the Garonne River, in the background the roof of the "Basilique de la Daurade".
The name of the basilica is not a wordplay with the name of a fish called in french "dorade" or "daurade" (sea bream in english) but related to gilded mosaic which was inside the church.
In latin, the mosaic was called "deaurata".

La Place de la Volaille
Why "Place de la Volaille" ? Simply because a famous poultry market was taken place in the late 19th and early 20th century.
