Imagine walking up an ancient staircase in a building near Rue de Faubourg Saint-Antoine, feeling the weight of centuries beneath your feet. The echoes of past footsteps linger as you ascend, connecting you to generations gone by. Intriguingly, "faubourg" also takes us beyond France's borders. Delve into DDE-90029691 and DDE-90029690, captivating images that transport us to Khorsabad - the faubourg of Ninive - across from Mosul.

Meanwhile, pen & ink with wash on paper brings forth "The Oratorians, " capturing their essence through artistry.

Leaping forward to 1615 Paris, we encounter Mathieu Merian's facsimile plan showcasing Le faubourg Saint-Germain. Marvel at its intricate details as it reveals streets teeming with life during that era. A coloured engraving titled "Une Citoyenne" introduces us to a guardian stationed at rue de Lille in faubourg St-Germain. Her presence symbolizes strength and resilience amidst societal changes unfolding around her. Traveling back even further in time, an engraving presents a cross-section view of Bastille in 1780 - providing insight into its structure before its fateful role during revolutionary times. Lastly, immerse yourself in La Commune de Paris captured through black-and-white photography; behold La Rue Royale, a corner Saint-Honoré.
