Gérald's been at it again. More artwork has appeared on the front of his house. He and Françoise live in the house once owned by our friends the Lartigau family, at the top of our street.
Gérald's first artwork on the facade of the house, completed a couple of months ago.
Several generations of Lartigaus had lived there, and they were tailors. When Mme Lartigau died her grandchildren inherited the house. Their lives were elsewhere and they decided to sell the house. Gérald and Françoise purchased, and really we could not wish for better neighbours.
This is what the house currently looks like.
Over the last few months Gérald has been adding artwork to the facade, in a charming acknowledgement of the past. He is well aware of its history, and aware it is a bit sad that the Lartigau family is not there any more. It would have been different if Jean-Pierre Lartigau had lived, but he succumbed to colon cancer in 2011 [here's a link to my obituary of him].
Gérald's latest artwork, completed a couple of weeks ago.

That is fabulous.... once a shop, always a shop... presumably it is just a private house now!?
