La rue du chat qui pêche! Paris

La Rue du Chat-qui-Pêche is considered the narrowest street in Paris.
It is only 1.80m wide for the whole of its 29m length.
It is located in the 5th arrondissement, on the Rive Gauche of the Seine,
and runs from Quai Saint-Michel to Rue de la Huchette.

Oostpoort Delft! Eastern gate Delft!

De Oostpoort is de enig overgebleven stadspoort van de
stad Delft. De poort werd rond 1400 gebouwd.
De torens werden in de 16e verhoogd. De Oostpoort
bestaat uit een landpoort en een waterpoort die met
elkaar zijn verbonden door resten van een stadsmuur.
Tegenwoordig is het gebouw in gebruik als
woning en kunstgalerij.

The East Gate is the only
 remaining gate of Delft.
The gate was built around 1400.
The towers were raised in the 16th.
The East Gate consists of a land port and a water gate
which is connected by remnants of a city wall.
Today, the building is being used as
house and art gallery.
