In the backdrop are the two towers of the Cathédrale Saint-Mammès. To the very left the statue of Denis Diderot, the most notable person, that ever came from Langres. Diderot was a philosopher, scientist, writer and co-founder, chief editor, and contributor to the Encyclopédie along with Jean d'Alembert. Denis Diderot was a prominent figure during the Enlightenment. It seems like his family by now runs the boulangerie to the right.
