Abbeville, France: A Journey Back in Time through Rue Saint-Gilles (circa 1910s) Step back in time with this evocative photograph of Rue Saint-Gilles in Abbeville, France. The image, captured in the 1910s, transports us to a bygone era, where horse-drawn carts and pedestrians share the cobblestone street with the occasional automobile. The quaint street, lined with picturesque houses and shops, is a testament to the rich history and charm of Abbeville. The name Rue Saint-Gilles refers to the Saint Gilles Hospital, which was once located at the end of the street. The hospital, founded in the 12th century, was renowned for its care of the sick and the poor. One of the most striking features of the photograph is the Hotel de la Tête de Boeuf, located on the right-hand side of the street. The name of the hotel translates to 'The Ox's Head Inn.' Its half-timbered facade, adorned with intricate carvings and colorful flowers, is a reminder of the architectural beauty that can still be found in France. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the daily life of the people of Abbeville during this era. Horse-drawn carts laden with goods make their way down the street, while women in traditional French dress walk alongside them, chatting with their neighbors. The children, dressed in their Sunday best, play in the street, adding a sense of joy and innocence to the scene. This photograph is a treasure trove of history and culture, offering a glimpse into the past of Abbeville, France. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving our heritage and the beauty that can be found in the smallest of details.
