Painted wall rue Mouffetard


This painted wall on the famous Parisian "Fromagerie Androuet" (cheese shop) represents hunting scenes. The paintings were made in 1929 and use the "sgraffito" technique.

  1. Laurent, I saw that façade in June with Virginia and friends. It is a good thing that painting is up high enough that the usual graffiti "artist" does not spoil it. Nice shot!

  2. Here we go. I"ve got a lot of photos of this but never posted them because I couldn't remember anything about the paintings. Very cool place.
