The image depicts a daytime scene on Place du Breuil in Le Puy-en-Velay, France, focused on a war memorial and the Hôtel des Postes building. In the foreground, a section of dark asphalt, likely a road or parking area, is bordered by a raised curb. Behind this, a landscaped island features a large, irregularly shaped grey stone monument inscribed with "AUX MORTS DU VELAY," "LA LIBERATION," and "1940-1945," and an engraved sword-like motif. This monument is flanked by smaller dark boulders and surrounded by various bare deciduous shrubs and a dense, dark green evergreen shrub directly in front of it. Dominating the midground is a tall, bare deciduous tree with a thick, dark brown trunk and numerous upward-reaching branches, obscuring a central portion of the background building. Behind the tree and landscaping stands a multi-story building, identified as the Hôtel des Postes, constructed of light-colored stone or stucco. Its facade features numerous windows with white frames, many equipped with white external shutters or interior blinds, and some adorned with decorative black iron railings on small balconies. The building exhibits ornate architectural details, including pilasters and cornices. A faded sign with yellow and green elements, partially reading "MAISON DE VENTE DE LA," is visible above the ground floor. The building's left corner features a rounded section with balconies, culminating in an elaborate grey, dome-shaped turret topped with a spire. A dark grey mansard roof with dormer windows and reddish chimneys is visible above the main facade. The sky above is a pale blue, suggesting an overcast day or specific lighting conditions. No individuals are visible in the scene. The bare branches of the trees and shrubs indicate a late autumn or winter setting.
