When in PARIS last month, I visited RUE CREMIEUX, a small street that I saw featured in a random article online.
It's hard to believe that this is only 2-3 blocks from the GARE DU LYON train station in the 12th Arrondissement. It doesn't even looks like PARIS!
The NEIGHBORHOOD decided together to paint each of their homes a pretty PASTEL color. Some also added individually painted "ART" onto the facades.
Naturally, I'm attracted to DOOR KNOCKERS and HANGING SIGNS above/beside the front door.......
And parked BICYCLES alway catch my eye!!
Oh, and of course FLOWERS and the color "PROVENCE BLUE".........
Do you see what I mean - that it doesn't even look like PARIS?? It's more like what you'd see out in the FRENCH COUNTRYSIDE. Oooh la la!!
I highly recommend a walk along this street during your next visit - IF you have extra time.
It was a "FIRST" for me and I loved it.

Gorgeous! There is a street like this in London too! We were there in the fall and just happened upon it, it was totally random, but beautiful!
