After Peter and I looked at the Street Art , we talk a walk down Rue Moufftard , just taking a stroll and then going for a beer at the bottom of the street. Hope you enjoy this little stroll. As you know this street is famous for all the little Delis, Cheese shops, Wine shops andlots more. I do have photos of those from another trip but not this time.
Au Negre Joyeux This ancient advertisement, is above what was once a chocolate factory, and dates back to 1748, is situated on the pretty, Place de la Contrescarpe, Paris.It’s now on Paris’s registry of sites deemed historical and unable to be removed or modified. If you would like to read more of the history in the link please. I am sure if this was in the UK , it would be destroyed. I hope that the people of Paris who want to keep it , do,
Ernest Hemingway lived in Paris at 74 Rue Cardinal Limoine in 1922 until 1923 with his first wife Hadley , an American writer. 
This is such unusual looking Art work. Pigs, birds, dear and wild boar intertwining amongst the plant spirals. is is dating from 1929 - 1931 and the shades of Gold and Brown are original for the time. Created by Adigheri , an Italian artisan using the sgraffito technique. Sgraffito is a technique either of wall decor, produced by applying layers of plaster tinted in contrasting colors to a moistened surface, or in ceramics, by applying to an unfired ceramic body two successive layers of contrasting slip, and then in either case scratching so as to produce an outline drawing.
I just love walking around and seeing this history , much more than going to a museum. Not to say I don't go to them , but not very often!Hope you all have a great week Take care. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
