Cologne is the fourth-largest city in Germany - and one of the oldest. A Germanic tribe, the Ubii, had a settlement here, this was named by the Romans "Oppidum Ubiorum". In 50 AD, the Romans founded "Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium", the city then became the provincial capital of "Germania Inferior". Phone booths have a long history, but - in times of cell phones and flat rates - they have no future.

Only about 250 people live in Saint-Léger-sur-Vouzance, so a boulangerie, that belonged to every French village, may have been closed already long ago. Mostly boulangeries were followed by a "dépôt de pain", where baguettes could be bought from a bakery, that may heve still existed in the next village. Now these dépôts seem to get replaced by vending machines. This was the first machine selling bread I saw in France. The machine even accepts credit cards! The telephon booth on the right is on the list "Last Chance to see".
