A few weeks ago I posted some old adverts from a Metro station that is in the process of being renovated, giving a glimpse into what was happening in 1959. Fast-forwarding to 2007, I absolutely love the Vertical Gardens by Patrick Blanc, a modern French artist who has pioneered living walls. As a garden junky who appreciates green in the city, I'm even more impressed. If anyone is heading over this way you can see the BHV Homme site just behind the main store, a block behind rue de Rivoli on the edge of the Marais. Blanc also is responsible for the eye pleasing outside of Quai Branly, the indigenous art museum in the 7th.
