Nostradamus: Saint-Remy-de-Provence

A statue and fountain in tribute of Nostradamus in Saint-Remy-de-Provence.

Blink and you'll miss it -- the home where Nostradamus was born in 1503.

Wandering around the small, gothic village of Saint-Remy-de-Provence, I just happened to happen upon Nostradamus' house. Well OK I had heard it was there, but walking through the narrow, cobbled backstreets, I mused at the fact that I almost walked by his birth home, so unassuming save for a plaque above the door. It was incredible to think that this fascinating man, teller of tales and prophecies, someone who affected the world so tremendously with his telling predictions, was born hundreds of years ago in the home right in front of me. 

The streets of Saint-Remy-de-Provence.

Cute little shops on narrow streets.

Store fronts were just so charming.

I loved capturing the windows and doors.
