Description

Many street in Paris were paved before the 1968 political events, but the Paris pavement was used to throw against the police or to build barricades. However, in many other French towns, some streets are still paved. The Lille pavement is famous for its decorative shapes. Click on the image to see it better. All comments welcome.

De nombreuses rues parisiennes étaient pavées avant les évènements de 1968, au cours desquels le pavé servit comme arme contre la police ou pour construire des barricades. Il fut retiré par la suite. Cependant dans d’autres villes certaines rues restent pavées. Les pavés de Lille sont réputés pour leur forme décorative. Cliquez sur l’image pour en apprécier les détails. Vos commentaires seront les bienvenus.

Rue du sec arembault ? Avant il y avait Paris-Texas où j' achetais des fringues. La ville (ma ville :-) est malheureusement une des plus sales de France...
