Here is the Beffroi of Lille. It was built 1923 after the first World War because the first Beffroi was destroyed. A Beffroi is a tower where somebody had to watch upon the surroundings if no ennemy was to make the siege of the town. It was almost always built on the top of the town-hall. The Beffroi of Lille is part of the World Heritage of the UNESCO like 22 other Beffrois of the North-Pas de Calais and Picardy and a lot of Beffrois of Belgium. They have often a play of little bells one which are played smart melodies. In Lille is the hymn the P'tit Quinquin which is sung in Lille's dialect. It is a cradle song where the mother speaks to her child the P'tit Quinquin. The Beffrois are the emblems of the towns of the North Country.
On the right is an Oriel, it is the window of a house which is above the street so that the people can look better to the street. This one has femmish glasses (much little glasses in a wood embrasure).
Perle de Rosée.
