One of my favorite quotes is “leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but photos, kill nothing but time.” It’s a beautiful sentiment, but us humans long to leave our mark, to be known where we go, and to connect ourselves to others.
That’s one of the greatest parts about Paris/France, the art people leave isn’t just in the museums. It’s in the iron terrace grates, the metro signs, and even the graffiti.
I wanted to share some of the cool things I’ve found with you.
They remind me that I’m just one of millions to walk these streets, and yet they feel like little messages left behind for just me to discover.
I’ve left them unedited because a. I’m lazy and b. I want you to stumble upon them in their natural state too. Enjoy!
