The cow of the Moulin Rouge

For two months, till june 26th 2006, Vach’art exposes more than 150 cows in the most touristical places of Paris. Hard to find some good grass for most of them !
This one is in the front of the Petit Palais and looks typical french. It may be the next dancing star of the Moulin Rouge, the famous cabaret of Montmartre.

Nothing changed in Belleville

Some streets of Belleville, a north east area of Paris, did not changed for years. The small industries left Paris years ago. Many artists turned factories into workshops. They live now in quiet backyards where grass can still grow between cobblestones.

Some streets as rue Moinon or rue Sainte Marthe seem they didn’t change for years, keeping Belleville a village.

Tooth brushing on Blancs Manteaux

Walking along, I found this man posting bills on a street art exhibit center. After the last november events in Paris suburb, the young guys decided to show an other face of them, less hard, less aggressive and much more communicative. The result is a bunch of photos exposed in this art center.

The stairs of the Opera Garnier

These stairs are a monument in the monument, an other scene in the theater. Built for some happy few to climb the steps to celebrity. Nowadays, the same is happening at Cannes, every year, when stars climb the red carpet of the movie festival, in front of the crowd.

From a photographic point of view, this picture was made with a few photos. It was imposible to shoot these stairs without anybody on. So a dozen of photo were taken with a tripod and every uncrowdy place was stitched on the original, just like a puzzle.
