Art/Literary - Archäologie / paved roads - historical | | Französisch Begriff oder Satz: moulière | ...lié aux rues pavées, dont certaines possèdent encore leur moulière...
doesn't sound like a mussels park! |
| | | What is "lié"?? | Erklärung:
That might just shed more light on the matter.
Apart from that:
moulière - Veine tendre dans une pierre d'affûtage ou dans une meule de grès.
[Dicobat] [Also Lexis]
I suppose it is also possible that this might be the name for soft veins in otherwise hard paving stones, and it might be surprising that centuries on the "moulière" is still in place.
Also:
moulière - Terre marécageuse
[Lexis]
I wonder if, by extension from "terre marécageuse", "moulière" refers to the (central (often)) depression or "sewer" in such medieval streets ....

Typo? Note too that \"mEulière\" or \"pierre meulière\" is a type of stone used for building houses and walls. Maybe the text is suggesting that people once raided the \"meulière\" stone in roads to use it for building, so it is astonishing to find it still in the streets here ... |
