Artist lmdldzr at the foot of Le MUR... overnight!

Following the theft of Vhils' work, lmdldzr was on Oberkampf Place Verte for a very 
unusual happening at night - the weather was so mild that there was a crowd enjoing the 
show...  Two hours and six markers later, the artist dressed a new collage on that wall so
shamefully robbed...

The 'Bistrot Sainte Catherine', Marseilles Saint-Victor

Located in my favorite street in the district of Saint-Victor, south of the old port, and run 

by its two owners, this neighborhood bistrot has become my HQ, when in Marseilles.

A small old style French bistro which deserves to be known, yet it isn't mentioned anywhere

on the web.  

Now it's done!

Vhils' 'cut & paste' work on Le MUR

Le M.U.R. - #121 Alexandre Farto, aka Vhils - May 19/2012

[excerpt from a video taken from the bus #96 at 7:15pm]

Below, the wall around 4pm... 

 

... only, Vhils' work didn't last longtime. 

Villeglé's poster was robbed on September 2008, now it's Vhils' tour... 

Is this the price of success?

I've shot the following picture on Wednesday 23:

... Tuesday night has been 'hot', in Oberkampf, and a witness reported that someone 

equipped with a ladder and pretending to be a member of Le MUR's team boldly did 

the job. 

And that's all, folks!

2nd mission in Marseilles...

Gare de Lyon, TGV and another short stay in the town of Marseilles!
Will I find my ideal nest, this time?

[FamousHostels] 
Here is the Old Port 'Vertigo', a cheap and very pleasant place to stay...
2 steps away from the pedestrian area all around the cours Honoré d'Estienne d'Orves 
and the Place des Huiles, full of bars and restaurants. 
(click to see the Slideshow):

Vineyards in the heart of Marseille:
Paris has its own wine in Montmartre, Marseille will soon have 
its Vieux Port vintage.  
The city council has planted 150 vines last year in the tourist 
district of Saint-Victor at the foot of the Abbey, five minutes from 
the Old Port.

This time it will be the 'total immersion' strategy in my targeted area, the direct contact with the native by 'hijacking' 
them in the street and the 'sit in and chat in bars' technique.
Yes, there are other ways than ask realtors to find an apartment.

At Jean-Paul Hévin, 1 hen + 1 fish makes 1 chocolate henfish.

... and so on.
The list ends here. I hope you have found your favourite supplier because, personally,
I've had enough with chocolate. If you are not satisfied yet, you can continue your
quest, of course - the ways of gourmets are endless.

Yours faithful,

Not sure 'the new Blogger is Welcome'!

I think Blogger is the more 'intuitive' platform for blogging. They can change anything
they want in the Dashboard but please... do not modify the photo editor!
