Street Art / Graffiti Art in Palaisseau, a suburb around Paris
Palaisseau, a suburb around Paris is a nice, neat, quiet and serene place that can be reached in 35-45 minutes by metro. (Apart from the fact that I had friends here and was staying here, there is no place of importance or monuments!!). Following my usual methodology, I set out on foot to explore the area & its surroundings. During one such walk I took a short cut through the slightly overgrown bushes, one can’t call them anything else, and came to an underpass of the main highway. And there to my surprise I saw some very colourful expressions on the walls.
The Trompe-l’oeil at Lyon, France
Trompe-l’oeil is French for ‘Trick the eye’ and one look at such a painting on the wall will tell you why it is called so. I nearly missed these paintings till I readjusted my eyes and observed closely. For example in the following paintings I almost thought that there was a woman standing with her baby at the window, that there was a real person standing in front of the library, that there was an actual painter standing near a wall immersed in his work!

Pétanque,a sport that allows for social gathering of friends who play together over a glass of Pastis, a liquor that goes well with the sport was what I was told.
