No bill posters!
Thursday, August 03, 2006 Posted by Eric
Using the public buildings to post bills and placards throughout the city (remember this photo?)is not a new phenomenon. Back in 1881, the French government had to pass a law against bill posters (actually to keep the official billboards from private posting) and had it painted on many walls throughout Paris. You can still see many of these "Défense d'afficher" (bill posters prohibited) signs on the walls and, the weirdest thing, is that they are still pretty well respected!

I agree with jenni and would also like to comment on the pretty lady who put up her webcam shot. It's good to see PDP fans beautiful faces!!!

Funny, but when I saw that, immediately the words of the song "C'est ça la France" (Marc Lavoine) started popping to mind... ;-)

(By the way, soosha, since you brought it up (and I meant to say that before but where are my manners!) I think the picture you have on right now is the best one of all, including the fish and yes, even the Eiffel Tower one! )

Could you send some of those markers over here. We have graffiti and junk all over the place!

I wonder whether the advertised company wouldnt get a fine, if they put their advertisement on the wall ?
Or maybe it is also because the rare times that people actually did put up some posters on these walls, they were swiftly removed by the town employees.
The rapidness with which SNCF (train) and RATP (metro) erase the so many graffiti they receive, is just impressive.

I like how it's stencilled onto the stone. Here in KL, they paste a bill that says, Paste No Bills Here!

I have a nice panoramic-format (those APS cameras were great at this) that shows the "Défense d'afficher" line next to an exterior stormwater or wastewater pipe that's just covered with affiches. Took it in the 7th. I read that the law didn't specifically cover piping attached to the wall, which got ruled as a separate matter. Apparently, the afficheurs, so to speak, were enough of a political force to prevent an amendment. I don't know whether the story is true.
