You're in the Forum Square. It was the most important place of the city during the Roman era, since it was here that the inhabitants met to deal with political, commercial, economic or judicial matters.

Here you are in Chanzy Street. Before talking about the street itself, I suggest you look at the house on your right, and look up at its top.
