Doors & Art in Rue des Deux Boules

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

    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!

    I love 59 Rivoli….not sure if there is a little graffiti there or was it intended!
