Lors de l'extension du magasin Monoprix, rue du Gros Horloge, dans les années 60, les façades d'un hôtel particulier datant du XV et XVIe siècle ont été démontées et remontées ici rue d'Amiens. Les sculptures originales n'ont pas été remontées mais à la place ce sont des moulages de celles-ci qui ont été installées sur la façade. Celles-ci représentent les quatre éléments et les Dieux de l'Olympe.
When the supermarket Monoprix, in Gros-Horloge street has been expanded, in 1960, the façade of the old building have been dismantled and put here on this building in Amiens Street. The cast of the sculptures have been put on the façade : they represent the for elements and Olympe's Gods.

very nice anna! it reminds me of the castle in Heidelberg.
Nice way to recycle!
Beautiful sculptures!
Nice picture. It's great that they kept the facade - in the UK developers often promise to and then 'accidentally' pull it down... I like your shots!
