Paris Rouge -Le vélo

Rouler en paix

Joyeuse Saint-Valentin!

L'autruche sur le mur

Enough to make you stop and smile!

Visages sur le mur

If memory serves, these lovely ladies were gracing a wall in Butte-aux-Cailles a charming hilltop neighborhood in the 13 arrondissement.

Street Art

Sometimes it is just the little touches that the Parisians think of that bring a smile.

Le sourire sur le mur

Another reason to smile in Paris!

Liberté,Égalité,Fraternité

On previous visits to Paris, we might have walked right past these sentiments painted on a Parisian street, but after the events of 13 novembre, this one caught Mary's eye right away and she pointed it out to me. Merci Mary, my very best spotter in Paris. May our Parisian friends stay safe.

Bonjour Chat!

Ohhhh, I love this image of Eva captured during our three weeks in Paris, 2009. We passed this street art by Nemo, every single day, going to and from the Censier Daubenton métro. During our time in  Paris, Eve kept a running count of the cats she spotted in Paris. Maybe she included this one!

Les Couleurs de Paris

Found this in the Marais.  I am working on an exciting new project for French students. Stay tuned for more details as the project progresses.

Sunday Church Series - La Basilique du Sacre Coeur

The only thing missing is a Parisian with a beret!

Paris Rouge LVIII - Nemo Was Here

Tagging and senseless graffiti makes my head spin, but I will admit that Nemo's stenciled street art often catches my eye.( Could it be his use of ROUGE?)  I loved this Marais café wall.

Leo et Pipo

I found this charming ( although now faceless) little man quite by accident. I looked up Leo and Pipo when I got home and found that it's two artists that paste these charming figures, from times gone by, around Paris. When I get back to Paris, I'm going to search out more of their work!

To see more images go here.

REAL Street Art - 3 Artistes. 3 Murs. 3 Villes

It's no secret that I don't groove on graffiti , but yesterday while Peter I were along Canal St. Martin, we stumbled on some *brand new ( oui, so new Peter didn't even know about it) street art that made us stop dead in our tracks and take a boatload of photos. Warning.... I have so many, you will probably have to suffer through more. I'll wait a bit before I post another. J'adore this wall. I want to take it home avec moi!
