As in many French and indeed European cities, Morris columns act as billboards for movies, plays etc., here announcing a new movie about Coco Chanel with Audrey Tautou, whom you probably know as Amélie Poulain...-------------------------------
Comme dans de nombreuses villes françaises et européennes, ce sont les colonnes Morris qui annoncent les sorties à venir...
A very elegant one, and in perfect condition.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful! I didn't know the name of it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ciel!
( I want more flower's pictures)
Kind Regards

I like the columns. Kind of tasteful for advertising, which is surprising. Can't wait to see the movie.
ReplyDeleteI first saw these advertisements in Paris and discovered that I liked them very much. They are colorful and informative but not overbearing...
ReplyDeleteNice shot, CQ!
Nothing like that on this side of the Atlantic. We just have huge billboards.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your recent notes. We cannot wait for our arrival in Paris Friday morning.
a ce morris et son copain Decaux ils nous décorent les vielles avec "gout"
ReplyDeletej'aime bien ces colonnes morris, un vieux style sympa...et c'est vrai cela fait parti de notre vie urbaine depuis des années
ReplyDeleteJ'ai tout de suite remarqué cela Dimanche.
ReplyDeleteCa donne un côté "parisien" comme la grande ville, sa voisine.
Pour couronner le tout Versailles écrit en lettres d'or ! Ma chère !
A very styled use of marketing and great background!
ReplyDeleteThe life time channel here in the U.S. had a televison movie about CoCo starring Shirley Maclaine this year. It was pretty interesting.
ReplyDeleteArtistic and poetic in deed
ReplyDeleteA very nice way to advertise. Wish we had them. Tasteful, too.
ReplyDeleteWe have them here too, with armillary spheres around the top. About the movie, I definitelly will watch it when it's released. Love Coco and Audrey 'Amélie Poulain' Tatou! :-)
ReplyDeleteEuropeans are quite creative with their advertising. And by the way - I love Audrey! She is a great actress. And I LOVED "Amelie." I own the soundtrack, which was also fantastic. Quite unique, too.
ReplyDeleteI love these street "accessories". They change an ordinary street to something much nicer.
ReplyDeleteI love Audrey, too. I'll watch her in any role. Usually she plays such enchanting characters but I've seen her when she's played less than lovable roles and she's still mesmerizing. I also never knew the name for the pole. This is a great shot, CQ.
ReplyDeletechouette image !!
ReplyDeleteYou captured the first advertising pillar that pleases me. So it is indeed a elegant announcing of the "Coco Chanel" movie.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen columns like that advertising and I kinda like the idea. Colorful but don't pollute the environment. I hadn't yet heard of that movie. . .
ReplyDeleteForgot to wish you a very Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteI bet the movie about Coco Chanel is fascinating! Neat way to advertise movies.
ReplyDeleteLove that one! They have them in San Francisco and I think they are very attractive.
ReplyDeleteI like the unique top of the column:)
ReplyDeleteI like Audrey Tatou a lot, Amelie is one of my favourite films. I was a bit disappointed that she was in the Da Vinci Code, which was a total turkey, but I'll try not to hold it against her! ;)
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy these billboards, a more pleasant way to read these advertisements.
