Let’s have a closer look at his beautiful work.
While wandering around road works I saw something in the distance…
I began to smile as it is large and I saw it was painted. I couldn’t wait to get closer by.
It is right next to the entrance of a large park.
Standing right in front of the wall we see this:
Wow it is stunning! Even the roof tiles are painted including the doves and shading of them. Did you see that the roof was painted?
Let us look at some more details. Let your eyes go around slowly… all is painted. All details, the plants, the balconies the people and animals.
The architectural features are so well done. Stunning!
The little tower on the side with the pigeons.
The lady that is Juliette. (As we could read in above websites) Do you see the dog next to her?
The front door.
With a plaque next to it.
There was more information here, but half is missing… from the bottom part along the entire wall. Including parts of the large dog.
I zoom in on the pigeons one more time.
Such a stunning Trompe-l'œil. I love finding them… stay tuned for more of them once in a while while I show my streetart finds in France.
🚐🚐🚐 Update journey: Day one of us driving south 3000km to move half of our belongings went well, today we drive a bit more and we have done half way now. We are just having some delicious lunch now in our favourite restaurant on the drive down (we have been a few times before) and we rest a little… with internet to post this posty. We drive about 400km a day…. With loads of breaks to rest to not overdo it for me health wise. We will catch a ferry 🚢 on Wednesday evening.
