Throughout my travels in France, I visited several art museums, and I also noticed art in some unexpected places. The main street in Barbizon, for example, featured mosaic reproductions of works by artists who lived and woked in Barbizon in the 19th century.



Honfleur sits along the northern end of the Seine River and this outdoor wall art is representative of the nautical feel of the town.

In Angers, this artistic garden in what had been the moat around the castle drew my attention.

This mural in Lyon covered an entire building.

I was in Lyon during Holy Week and came upon these Stations of the Cross. The juxtaposition of this modern interpretation of the Passion of Jesus on the ancient pillars was striking.


Totally agree Madeline about the Stations of the Cross, very striking ~thank you
We saw several Stations of the Cross around France (including at Rocamadour which followed an uphill path); these were the only “modern” ones.
I love mosaics. Thanks for allowing me to enjoy your adventures vicariously, Madeline. 🙂
My pleasure. I thought it was an interesting way to display the art.
