From the beginning of my stay in Paris, I was fascinated by the different signs everywhere. I think our advertisements and other signs really say something about our culture. Here is just a small sampling of what I saw in Paris.
"Lawns forbidden." In France, they forbid the grass entirely in parks or else rotate the areas where you can go on the grass. This was at Versailles.
This little tavern was described in my tour book as one of the meeting places of the Revolution. I didn't go inside, unfortunately, but had to take a picture.
All of Paris' street signs look like this. This street also happens to be the narrowest street in Paris. "Fishing Cat Street"
This was at the Eiffel Tower. Shortly after taking this picture, I took a picture of my roommate Lisa and I sticking our heads out of the fence. Immature, yes.
Another lawn sign. This one says that the lawn is not authorized and shows it sleeping - one of the rotating lawn areas. This was at the Luxembourg Gardens
"In this house Vincent Van Gogh lived with his brother Theo from 1886-1888." I loved finding these little historical notes on buildings, especially when it was unexpected.
Lol I love French signs! My favorite of the ones you posted is the foot stepping down on the smiling grass :)
ReplyDeleteI love that one too! Especially because the grass is sleeping :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting signs. I like the sleeping glass, too. And the Orangina adds.
