Kicking things off tonight, here’s a trompe l’oeil (optical illusion design) shot from regular reader and all around cool guy Krs at Wanna Go To Paris. The shot is of a hotel on the rue de Chevreuse (Paris 6th), and the tree shadows are painted on!
My own contribution is of a building on the rue Franche Comté, in the 3rd arrondissement.
Trompe l’oeil, rue Franche Comté, Paris, France

I’d like to turn this site into more of a collaborative effort, if at all possible. For that, I need your help!
If, like Krs, you have taken a picture of Paris on your cell phone and would like to show it off to the world, why not do it here? It doesn’t have to be super artistic–there are enough photo sites of Paris as it is–just taken with a mobile phone and that’s all!
Please send a copy of your photograph to Paris.Paul.Prescott@gmail.com and I’ll let you know when it’ll be posted.
Thanks so much for your help!
Please feel free to check out my Paris Inspired fiction here
If I´m not mistaken there´s a building with a similar trompe l´oeil on Place St. André des Arts… Rue Franche Comté – a black spot on my very personal map of the Marais…
Oh No! Hope the photo doesn’t being back too many horrible memories!
See you in the streets,
Paris Paul
