Martin M. Miles' photos with the keyword: Crakows

Petit Niort is meanwhile part of Mirambeau. Saint Martin is under reconstruction and was completely locked, but I found some interesting graffiti outside. Here is one of them. A long toed shoe. These shoes (often dubbed "Crakows" after Krakow, capital of Poland from 1038 to 1569) were very popular within the nobility during the 13th/14th century. Walking pilgrims did for sure not use them..
