Some times it is hard to believe that Parisians would allow for the pain over their beautiful walls. And other times I feel like it was always meant to be there.
There has been a change of attitude over the years. Of course it’s a wide range between the rude tags and a full-blown chimpanzee mural. But I think it is a good evolution. A huge blank side-wall on a building is just an invitation to paint, isn’t it?
Seen that one too. It’s under restoration right now.

It sure is. And in many cases makes an old boring building more attractive or interesting at least.

Exactly. Actually one my pix today is on a recent building. Straight. Boring. But the mural gives it life. (A girl with green hair)

Yes, exactly. Wouldn’t it be terrible though if something ugly was painted on your building and you had to walk by it each day? Ha ha.
