Avenue des Hirondelles Arch                 SE 248 447

Picture
The archway has the inscription 'Avenue des Hironelles' and is near to the railway line. There could have been a connection with the steam locomotive that was called 'Hirondelle', which is French for swallow. Or the builder was called Swallow and named it after himself.
