“This 400 m2 fresco which covers the three facades of the building is not strictly speaking a mural comic. It is the realization of a man’s dream. Guy François, owner of the Chien Vert stores and madly in love with the sea, decides to fit out a building he has just bought next to his stores. His passion for the sea had already decided for him: the decoration of the facade would consist of a magnificent fresco representing the image of a sailboat. “.

1. “Pardon the Weeds”
A yellow sign reads “Pardon the Weeds, We Are Feeding the Bees,” placed in front of a flower-filled urban meadow near a residential building. Surrounded by wild poppies and native plants, the message blends charm with environmental awareness.
2. “All Americans Must Be Accompanied”
Outside a storefront, a chalkboard sign dryly announces: “All Americans must be accompanied by an adult.” A pointed jab likely referencing international stereotypes, it stands out as political commentary disguised as humor.
3. “Dog Library”
A handmade wooden sign invites dogs to “Take a stick, Leave a stick,” next to a generous pile of twigs beneath a tree. A perfect mix of wholesome and imaginative public space use.
4. “Gary, Come Home”
A drawing of Gary the Snail from SpongeBob SquarePants appears on a lost pet-style flyer taped to a street pole. The plea “Gary, Come Home” references the viral cartoon song of the same name.
5. “Don’t Buy Cages. Plant Trees.”
A mural-like sign with a bird perched on a pine branch delivers a strong environmental message: “If you want to listen to bird songs, don’t buy cages. Plant trees!”
6. “Empires, Kingdoms, Countries”
In front of a British-themed pub, a sandwich board offers a dry history lesson: “Empires run by Emperors… Kingdoms by Kings… and now Countries.” An ironic nod to modern politics.
7. “Hello? Is It Me…”
A flyer parodying Lionel Richie’s famous ballad features his portrait with tear-off lyrics from “Hello.” A great example of pop culture used in absurd street humor.
8. “Luke, I Am Your Father”
A speech bubble sticker next to a ventilation pipe transforms the pipe into a character from Star Wars, completing the famous “Luke, I am your father” quote.
