Night brings a different perspective. This huge building covered in trompe l’oeil paintings is a visual feast in daylight (see the image below). But it wasn’t until night fell and the spotlights came on that I noticed the cameraman perched on the corner of the building in Lyon, France.

Lyon is known for its dozens of mega-murals.
This one covers an entire building, and depicts 31 famous people (dead and living) from the Lyonnais area, such as Le Pétit Prince, Antoine de Saint Exupéry, the Lumière brothers who were pioneers of the cinema, and Paul Bocuse, one of Lyon’s most celebrated chefs. The painting marks Lyon’s history. See more about the city’s murals here.

That building is stunning. And night certainly changes its appearance. It looks more “alive” to me under lights.

I want to return to Lyon to see the rest of the astonishing murals there. Really unique.

I love Le Petit Prince and Paul Bocuse and I have a pen pal in Lyon since 1988 🙂
And yellow is my favorite. This post is tops!

How wonderful, especially the pen pal. I had not heard of Paul Bocuse (shame!) but I thought this building, and its purpose, was fabulous.
