Amiens, France – Passage Gossart, L’homme aux 3 têtes – Postcard Early 20th Century

This postcard captures the narrow and mysterious Passage Gossart in Amiens, with its overhanging timber-framed architecture and distinctive medieval detail known as “L’homme aux 3 têtes” (The Man with Three Heads). 
Amiens, the capital of the Somme department in northern France, is known for its Gothic cathedral, canals, and preserved medieval quarters. The Passage Gossart is a rare surviving remnant of the city’s medieval urban fabric. “L’homme aux 3 têtes” is believed to be a symbolic figure from the 15th or 16th century, possibly intended to ward off evil or represent watchfulness. Such architectural features were once common in northern France, combining artistry with superstition and storytelling in the public realm.
