Our Neighborhood in Pictorial

Sometimes you don’t need words. This blog post is simply pictures of life in our ‘hood. (Click here to learn more about the story of the artists colony called 59Rivoli).

I dont get it, I really don’t. But the G. Pompidou building is near our apartment and makes for a great landmark.

Love the sepia effect of this pic of this cool street art.

Gorgeous Hôtel de Ville is just two blocks from us. No one is riding the MGR on this rainy day.

Street artist, Paris. He wrote, “Life without art is stupid.”

The Chinese New Year parade was cancelled due to rain but these guys stopped for photos.

The crazy building in the background is an artist colony first established by squatting artists. Fascinating!
