The town hall in the village of Seur looks as though it’s attached to the church from this side but they are actually quite distinct as you can see below. On dirait que la mairie de Seur est contiguë à l’église de ce côté-ci mais on voit dans la deuxième photo qu’elles sont distinctes.

Thieving deer – Chevreuils voleurs
If you look closely at the left container you’ll see that all the tender leaves have been eaten no doubt by a deer. Si vous regardez bien sur la jardinière de gauche vous verrez qu’un chevreuil a mangé toutes les feuilles bien tendre.
