Bert is sitting on the stairs thinking about all the old buildings we've seen.
We got a guide from the employee of the tourist office, which included two walks. The shortest covered the inner city with an emphasis on the time of the independent principality (before 1642) and that was exactly what we were looking for. We felt a bit like in the television program 'Who do you think you are'. We just didn't have anyone there to tell us stories about life for the common people. That became more apparent when we visited the small town museum.
His ancestors fled to the Netherlands because of their faith. Whether they belonged to the Huguenots or to the Waldenses didn't become clear today. We have to contact the archive in Metz for them to help us to find out, said the employee of the tourist office. We probably do that when we will be back home.
