Cogne
Rue Linnea Borealis

Here we are at the bottom of the street, where it meets Rue Bourgeois near the Clock House. "Linnaea borealis" is the Latin name for the boreal linnet, a characteristic flower of the Canadian forest that is fairly common in Lapland but rare and highly protected in the Alps. As it is found in the Gran Paradiso National Park, Cogne named the street after it.
