Just a ittle something....

Here are some shots of the "Hotel de la Préfecture" built in 1822. It would be the equivalent of a county governor. These are the offices and I went to when I received my French nationalité. Now I tutor the prefet's children twice a week. Here are some shots from the internet....not all of these rooms are among the residential part where I actually go, but it gives you an idea. 

Then and now.....                                                                                                                                                     the residential quarters are in the wing to the left of the double doors and flag. 

Here's a shot taken on the sly by me. Looking down from the 2nd floor landing. This is in their living quartiers. I also double,

 triple check to make sure the soles of my shoes are clean, before I head up the stairs. You know Caen and their dogs...
