Sign Shop in Paris

Post by Doug Bernhardt »

Found this old sign shop wall in Paris a few years ago. Thought you all might enjoy a peek. It's right around the corner from Shakespear and Co. near Notre Dame. I quickly put this pano together to give some idea of how the whole looked

I love the idea they are on a second or third floor.

Hey Other Guy,

That's pretty cool and nicely piecced together. Thanks for a look into history. I didn't know you were bilingual.

I like the look of worn rustic murals and walls and the letters just about readable. Would look good in Disney.
Nice one Dougy.

I can just imagine how that all looked back when it was new.
