Still in Toul, Lionel takes a closer look at the Saint-Étienne Cathedral in Toul. Its construction started in the thirteen hundreds and was completed around 1495.

Astrid gives us a detailed description of the Toul Cathedral, its history, and its special features. Though its gargoyles may look scary, they serve a special purpose: draining rainwater off the roof. A light and sound show takes place every year, highlighting the gargoyles and the cathedral's amazing architecture.

Meet Jean-Claude and Rachelle, who own a specialty store full of delicious goodies. They talk to Lionel about the madeleine, a specialty of the Lorraine region that was supposedly invented by a cook named (you guessed it!) Madeleine.

Lionel is still in Liverdun, a small village in the Lorraine, to find out some more about the madeleine. It's a specialty of the region that comes in various delicious flavors, such as mirabelle plum and bergamot orange.

In this third segment on the madeleine, a specialty of the Lorraine region, we find out more about the history of the famous pastry. Did you know that the first madeleine appeared in the Middle Ages?

Lionel and Jacqueline take us to the Moselle region in the little town of Schorbach, which is renowned for its pink sandstone sculptures and its Path of the Ten Covenants.

In part two of this series, we continue our visit of the little village of Schorbach and join Jacqueline and Lionel at the Calendar of Peace Museum, which depicts famous figures throughout history, from Buddha to Louis Braille.

The Calendar of Peace includes three figures depicted with their eyes closed, signifying their "inward-looking" lives: Jesus, Buddha, and Louis Braille.

Jacqueline shows Lionel some magnificent wooden statues by a Polish sculptor who settled in France.

Jacqueline explains how the building that now houses Josef Pyrz's sculptures came about.

Enjoy the exquisite statues of Josef Pyrz, a Polish sculptor who finally found recognition thanks to the famous composer Olivier Messiaen who propelled his career. The statues are made of various woods and many have a religious theme.

We end our visit to the museum where Josef Pyrz's beautiful wooden statues are displayed. Find out why some heads are represented upside down and a few are not.

Lionel takes us to the Salt Museum in Marsal, dedicated to the history of the town's saltworks. He introduces us to Michel, president of the Friends of the Museum, and to Juliette, who is starting her first day on the job.

In addition to its saltworks, the town of Marsal boasts some interesting artwork, such as the bovine statue by the Hungarian artist Sandor Kiss. And Michel will explain the town's connection with Louis XIV and French military engineer Vauban.

Michel talks about the role his father played in the creation of the museum. And do you know the origin of the word "salary"?
