A 16th century dwelling on the site collapsed due to a flood while the owner was away, trapping a pair of doves under the rubble. The male dove escaped, but never left his sweetheart's side, bringing her seeds and water from the Seine every day. Touched by his devotion, neighbours freed her from the rubble, making this piece essential for anyone captivated by the romantic soul of the City of Light.
