Hi Robin, this is a fascinating discovery. I live in Paris and have been to the Butte before, but never noticed this. At Paris-Sharing, we’re also into urban gardens–especially sharing them. To reciprocate, might I suggest that next time you come to Paris you pay a visit to a community vegetable garden at the end of the Impasse Berthaud, just off rue Beaubourg in the 3rd. It’s a very surprising discovery, enclosed by a buildings of astonishing architectural diversity.
You can preview it in photo #8, presented on http://www.facebook.com/parisharing. Other Paris gardens are featured there as well.

Best regards,
Carsten

oooohhh fabulous Paris. We went there for our honeymoon and it was wonderful. Beautiful public gardens all over and they sure make the most of their nooks and crannies. I wish I’d known about the honey man….I would have loved to visit him and buy some.

Thanks for sharing Robin!

What a fabulous spring feature ! The bright tuquoise door of the butte – aux- cailles house compliments the graffiti art so joyously ! Did you all collaborate? The text and links literally drop you into the refreshing scene by awakening each of the sensory stimuli ; the reader can actually sense (cobblestone streets, gritti graffiti, see (colors), smell (flower garden), and taste (les abeilles) the experience. Bravo, Chata !

Wow, love the artwork kind of a mixture of Andy Warhol and Henri Matisse.
