On our way to the city...
Under the road - can you see part of the fountain on the top?
This wall painting has been on my blog several times but I love it...
Narrow streets; beware of loosing a wing mirror!
Never seen this wall painting before, looks like 'Star Wars' has arrived.
A drive by shot of a street....

Driving back home, hope these are tied on well!!
I enjoyed the ride to town. The first wall painting is great not so sure about the other one.
ReplyDeleteDiane the Angouleme is the French capital of the comic strip and designated City of Art and History. There are some strange bits of wall art around, but all with a meaning and some are really amazing. T'other Diane
DeleteI like the murals. The town hall was formerly a castle! I like the market building too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy, so many buildings in France have been restored and are used for different things, very few are now privately owned as the upkeep is expensive. Diane
DeleteWhat an impressive town hall.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with that, it is quite outstanding. Diane
