| In the streets |
To watch for in the streets…
Meet many characters as they make their way through our streets, brimming with stories, tales and anecdotes. You’ll be charmed by the hurdy-gurdy music and the Filles du Roy on the lookout for husbands—but watch out for the beggars and con artists of Rue de la Truanderie. Luckily the Maréchaussée and official criers are on the job. There’s also the Jesuit on high and his followers, and missionaries dragging their giant book around as they preach the Good News. Our carter has his shoulder to the wheel conjuring up the everywhere-flourishing atmosphere of bygone days. A plethora of activity zones are set up in the streets.
