Description
Rue de Change is a street in Tours, France. In the distance one can see the towers of the Tours Cathedral but Arms focused his etching on two, multi-storied buildings dating to the end of the 15th century situated along Rue de Change. The rue was a pilgrimage route so the street stories were devoted to commercial shops selling items to the pilgrims.
