The main place that we wanted to visit was 59 Rivoli. I have featured it previously here and this is the entry door to the gallery.
However, today’s post isn’t about that. I want to take you through the lesser-explored back doors and side streets of Rue des Deux Boules in the 1st arrondissement of Paris. It is a quaint lane tucked just behind and running parallel to the famous Rue de Rivoli.
Street art adorns most of the doors and walls.
There were not just murals, but also small 3D public art scattered around.
I am linking this to Dan’s Thursday Doors Challenge and for Natalie’s Photographing Public Art Challenge – PPAC
Wow!
Thanks Jo.
This looks a delightfully quirky street.
That’s what I love about it. Thanks Margaret.
What a delightful stroll you provided along this artistic street. I love all of it. The wonderful street art is something I enjoy. Thank you!
Same here, Suzette. Thanks for stopping by.
My pleasure, Teresa. I delight in stopping by!
Love the mix of doors and street art Teresa
That’s what I like too. Thanks Brian.
Nice photos! I like the doors, the murals, but I really like the 3D bits added to the buildings.
Thanks Dan.
i specially like the masks.
many greetings robert
Thanks Robert.
I really like the 3D pieces. I’ve seen similar elsewhere in Paris but I don’t think we’ve been down that street – yet!
Glad you like it. And also glad that I accidentally went to that street. Thanks.
Aah – right up my street. That gold door is just incredible.
Thanks Scooj, the door really stands out.
I love the mixture of old and new.
Thanks Anne.
I love the 3D art. My favorite door is the top one.
Thanks Susan, that really is an attractive door.
I love 59 Rivoli….not sure if there is a little graffiti there or was it intended!
What great, colorful finds! That first one almost burned my eyeballs with its bright colors and designs. 😉

That’s a great way of saying it, Janet. You should see the interior.
I like the faces in particular
Spectacular doors and artwork! Paris is sort of magical. 😊
Yes, Paris is that sort of place. Thanks Brenda for stopping by.
