It's #FensterFreitag and this is inside a greenhouse at the Emmanuel Liais gardens in Cherbourg. Liais was an astronomer and botanist who spent time in Brazil first to see an eclipse, then to study astronomy (a Martian crater is named after him) before returning to France. He became mayor in Cherbourg and imported lots of plant species from Brazil and Asia, bequeathed to the city on his death.
