Amour — It’s written on the streets of Paris. Literally. A grafitti artist writes the word in white paint all over the streets of Paris hundreds of times a day. If you search Flickr for the word, you’ll find numerous shots of the artist’s work taken by the general public from a multitude of locations around Paris. The beautiful scriptive tag is immeadiatly recognizable.

It seemed the graffiti artist’s identity was initially a secret, but now he has been identified as Jean-Luc Duez. The story behind Duez’s reason for scrawling amour all over the Paris streets is fantastic (if you ignore the restraining orders).

“Before her there was nothing. After her there was room for nothing else.”

Read the BBC or Telegraph Article for the full story. I love the quote above given by Duez.

Another reason why Paris is an amazing city to visit!
