Une des rues anciennes de Sao Luis do Maranhao, au Brésil, jadis fondée par les Français

One of the old streets of São Luís do Maranhão, Brazil, originally founded by the French, and which was named in honour of Louis XIII. One of its distinctive features is the use on the facades of coloured tiles known as azulejos, from azul (blue in Portuguese), because of their dominant colour.
