This was just a couple of blocks from the hotel, on the corner of Boulevard Voltaire and Rue Jean-Pierre Timbaud, and to me was one of the most fascinating things to see: a graffiti mural. You can see the steps going up the side of the building that were used to increase the reach and scope of the canvas. Not only is it a decent drawing, it appears (so far as I know) to be there only to improve the view - as opposed to being gang-related or linked to crime, as it is in the U.S.Not that the other doesn't exist; I did take some of the distracting, more "normal", graffiti from the bottom in Photoshop.
There were several of this type of drawings in Paris, but this was the best of the bunch that I saw...
