French ghostsigns blog: Les murs peints s’affichent
Les murs peints s’affichent is a blog written by Philippe Célérier on the topic of ghostsigns in France. He adds updates quite regularly and it is well worth following if you are interested in hand painted signs on buildings from this country which seems to have so many. The image above is taken from this post where the sign features alongside four others on the same wall for different brands of beer.
