I had seen the "Miroir d'eau" (= water mirror), a very shallow pond between the "Place de la Bourse" and the river Garonne, late evening and just had to come back next morning. The water here only stands about 2cm high. The pond covers an area of more than 3000m² - and is loved not only by kids.

Late evening at the "Miroir d'eau" (= water mirror), a very shallow pond between the "Place de la Bourse" and the river Garonne. The water here only stands about 2cm high. The pond, that has even more "features", covers an area of more than 3000m² - and is loved not only by kids.

Moon over the Place de la Bourse. The place was created between 1730 and 1755, after the medieval city walls got teared down. Up to the Revolution the place´s name was "Place Royale" and a statue of Louis XV stood in the center. The name then changed to "Place de la Liberté" and the statue got replaced by a liberty pole. Under Napoleon I this was the "Place Impériale". Since 1869 the "Fontaine des Trois Grâces" (Fountain of the three Graces) is installed in the center.
