IT looks quite creepy and run down! But one thing I always appreciated with Europe is that even the smaller cities have great consistent architecture and street life where in NA smaller cities usually tend to be younger and boring.

Lovely, I can't get enough of those narrow cafe lined streets and splendid residential buildings!

That's right Valence is quite run down.

Love the photos. Looks great for such a small city.

I'm with you, I have no clue what Rico is talking about.

By the looks of it you would think it had more people.

Life seems so relaxing over there

I'm not entirely sure what Rico is talking about either, it doesn't look remotely creepy or run down to me - looks like a charming, thriving French town.
