A new "Trompe l'oeil"


Do you remember this post? Well, I have found a new one... Can you tell which windows are for real and which are painted? I am sure you can, but still, I find this Trompe l'oeil really cool. It's located in the 8th arrondissement at the beginning of avenue Delcassé.

  1. Hello.

    I'm in Paris since 4 years ago. In my walk I can see many "Trompe l'oeil". I know a good one in "rue de Belleville" in the 20th. In the middle of the street, if you see on the right hand maybe you would have a surprise.

    See you sonn.

    ps : excuse my basic ( and poor )english

  5. Ok gg...I have a question for you as you always have some interesting history about these sorts of Trompe l'oeils! Why and when did they get started? Anything clever you can share with us?

  7. No Michael, désolé ! But one of the first Trompe l'œil I can remember is the one rue Etienne Marcel, with large stairs, a little girl and a portrait of Yehudi Menuhin. It was known as a real nouveauté in the mid-seventies…

  8. Il y en a un pas mal just derrière la mairie du XVème sur la rue Lecourbe face au centre de Paris (contre la circulation).
