Maison du Village?

Real or imagined? : Tromp l'oeil : St. Genis-Pouilly, FR

Is this a narrow townhouse on the end of that building or does the eye deceive again? Another tromp l'oeil in St. Genis. This one, across the street from the one featured in yesterday's post.

The Paintbrush is Mightier than the Eye...

Magie/Image : Tromp l'oeil : St. Genis-Pouilly, FR

I love tromp l'oeil and Europe is full of it. The great thing about that is, you don't have to go to a museum to see it. A lot of the time, all you have to do is drive to a neighboring village and there, against the wall of a building, is a painting meant to deceive your eye into thinking it's depicting a real-life scene. This is the case in the village of St. Genis-Pouilly in France. Everytime I go to France's finest bakery, Sebastian Brocard, I pass this mural that shows us the magic of images.
