La dame de la mosaïque



I will confess that I know nothing of this lovely mosaic on the premier étage of a building, near Shakespeare and Company. I welcome further information from my keen readers!

UPDATE:  Thanks to a nice reader, the mystery of the lady is solved. This is Polly Maggoo, a rather famous bar in the 5eme!

    I don't know anything about the mosaic, but it's so particularly striking. I hope I see it next year.

    In spite of its simplicity, it is amazing.

    Interesting... almost missed the fine white outline of her hair, or possible a scarf

    Thanks for sharing.

    It is exactly like in the movie poster: Who Are You, Polly Maggoo?!

    Nice mosaic! I think it has something to do with a movie from the 1960's.

    I was going to try to get some info about this after my last Paris trip but I totally forgot.

    Stop by Weekend Reflections because I'm reflecting on Paris. I can't wait to go back. :)

    With some good facial lotion, maybe all the cracks and lines would disappear, non?

    How beautiful, and what vivid color! And right next to a splendid, unique French window. I love the French windows. Just as chic as the fashions!
