My school in Tours organized a field trip, but I didn't get to go because the Sister Cities program I was travelling with scheduled a painfully boring (and mandatory) outing to Le Futuroscope de Poitiers for the same day.

I'm not sure what these ones were carved out of, but they're true gargoyles -- functional water spouts -- that get a lot of use.
