BUT in the meantime, since I have no key, my explorations today were limited to the neighborhood, which proved to be totally charming and refreshingly non-touristy (I had imagined Paris to be overrun with Americans this time of year, but they don't venture far from center).
And, since it's not a touristy area, nobody speaks English! Which means, that je was forced to desperately master some phrases. Needless to say, the day was punctuated by many coffee and bench breaks during which I got out my trusty dictionary and notebook.
As I was wandering, I saw some really unexpected and awesome street art, something I always love looking for/at in new cities. I love the contrast with the Parisian architecture.
I was so excited to see a work by Invader (above), a really well-known street artist, who makes mosaics of characters from the video game Space Invader. This could be by him, or it could be one of the many inspired-by works all around the world.
And another Invader.
