In this post I have captured some of the trompe-l’œil seen around our travels in Provence and Paris.

Avignon in particular has around 50 trompe-l’œil frescoes that decorate many of its city centre building facades. Painted by artists Dominique Durand and Marion Pochy, each one depicts a highlight from past years of the Avignon Festival.

Our base for three weeks, L’Isle-Sur-la-Sorgue in Provence had a beauty.
