Place Goethe

The square commemorates Goethe's stay in Sarreguemines in 1770 and his mention of the town in his collection Dichtung und Wahrheit.

Sarreguemines is known in German as Saargemünd, and although these days the town is well and truly anchored in France, it is on the Saarbrücken tram line and many of its inhabitants speak a dialect of German.

    El viaje por Francia está siendo apasionante, querido amigo, rincones vistos a través de tu mirada y que dejan ver un mundo de sensibilidad. Excelente esta última toma, los pasadizos tienen algo muy especial que los hace fotogénicos. Bien resuelta la toma, felicidades.
    Un abrazo

    A dialect is interesting culture.

    Though my country is very small, there are a lot of dialects. They seem to be totally another languages.

    There are a lot of them which I can hardly understand.

    Excelente composicion, lo que se mira al final del pasaje es invitador, una pequeña plaza para disfrutar una tranquila caminata. Saludos de Mexico.

    Like always, interesting framing; it draws you inside the scene.
