Let’s have a closer look at his beautiful work.

While wandering around road works I saw something in the distance…

I began to smile as it is large and I saw it was painted. I couldn’t wait to get closer by.
IMG_7995.jpeg

It is right next to the entrance of a large park.
Standing right in front of the wall we see this:
IMG_7996.jpeg

Wow it is stunning! Even the roof tiles are painted including the doves and shading of them. Did you see that the roof was painted?
IMG_7998.jpeg

Let us look at some more details. Let your eyes go around slowly… all is painted. All details, the plants, the balconies the people and animals.

The architectural features are so well done. Stunning!

The little tower on the side with the pigeons.

The lady that is Juliette. (As we could read in above websites) Do you see the dog next to her?

The front door.

With a plaque next to it.

There was more information here, but half is missing… from the bottom part along the entire wall. Including parts of the large dog.

I zoom in on the pigeons one more time.

Such a stunning Trompe-l'œil. I love finding them… stay tuned for more of them once in a while while I show my streetart finds in France.

🚐🚐🚐 Update journey: Day one of us driving south 3000km to move half of our belongings went well, today we drive a bit more and we have done half way now. We are just having some delicious lunch now in our favourite restaurant on the drive down (we have been a few times before) and we rest a little… with internet to post this posty. We drive about 400km a day…. With loads of breaks to rest to not overdo it for me health wise. We will catch a ferry 🚢 on Wednesday evening.


…and here I say that’s all for today’s post my friends.

That is a really cool work of art! He is a very talented artist, from distance you almost think it real! What a great find while wandering Montpellier, I haven't been to that city in many long years now!

Beautiful mural... This appears to be a mural celebrating historical or cultural figures born in Montpellier such as Juliette Gréco. Great tribute. Thanks for sharing these pics on The StreetArt Community.

Have a great day and a "quiet" trip. Take care.

Yes, it seems they are all from Montpellier I read.
It was a beautiful work to see. So much details and the perspective was just perfect. Shading in the right spots.

I truly loved this mural. It was so real. The perspective of the architectural features, the shading placed just right. One truly needed to look what was painted. This side was dine everywhere. The roof tiles stood out and the details of the balcony.
Thanks Joe.
Finished day 3 of driving… tomorrow evening we hop on the night ferry ⛴️ to arrive Thursday morning in Germany.
I am taking lots of breaks and little stops to stretch the legs and rest… slowly but steady.
Vroom vroom 🚐🚐🚐
Thanks!
Have a lovely week.

The breaks are very good for you Jackie, driving can be tiring 😫 I struggled doing 2.30 hours drive back home yesterday, I have done a lot of driving in the last two weeks.
Take care and enjoy the travels

I so need them. Hubby has been driving alone the last 2 days as I couldn’t… we did take still loads of breaks and even visited a zoo for 2 hours yesterday half way in Germany. 😎 but today I try to drive again today.

I can imagine Joe. The km you cross will be a lot in your job. Hope you don’t have to drive this weekend.
Thank you. You too take care and stay safe.

Good you are taking it easy and hubby has done most of the drive.
Enjoy Jackie 😉
