The walls of Clermont-Ferrand

Now for the last instalment of Clermont-Ferrand. While walking around in town, I glanced into an alley and saw this:


It was obviously painted, maybe because the day wasn't as fine as the blue sky painted on the wall. But of course I had to check it out ^_^

to the right, the part previously hidden by another building

The door's open, shall we go in? ;P

The dog's already inside...

Fresque Murale Rue des Grands Jours (the name of the painted wall)

The sign also says that this place is under CCTV surveillance. I guess it's to avoid people drawing anything on the walls! I wonder whether the Lyon walls are under surveillance as well...

Even the metal disks I wrote about in the previous posts are on the wall.



The other guy was there as well, but the disk was blocked by the white van (on the left in the second photo) so I couldn't take a photo of it.

On other days I saw a few other walls, but they weren't that spectacular.

this one was all faded

this one too (this one is in the road opposite the building in the last photo of the previous post)

When I was there, there was some promotion going on about the Auvergnat Cola (Auvergne is the region where Clermont is situated), and they had this in the Jaude commercial centre.


Two random photos to end this post:

breakfast at CroustiPain one morning
Those pastries were the best I'd ever tasted! Maybe because they were really fresh...it was really early in the morning, probably before or just about 7am...

a double rainbow I saw one day when walking across the parking lot to go home ("home" as in Mariani's place where I stayed for the time I was in Clermont)

Did I mention that it was rather cold and rainy when I was there? I am so unlucky with weather these days...even for my next trip (which you will read about soon, I hope :P ) the weather wasn't on our side...
