Paving stones with 'pave a fendre', and a water pump, at 52 Rue de l'Arbre Sec, in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, France. The pave a fendre or cracked paver, is a paving stone larger than the surrounding ones, used to split the logs which were delivered in the streets for fuel for houses. People split the long logs outside on these larger stones to avoid damaging the cobblestones. This practice was in place from the 17th century. Picture by Manuel Cohen
