Fresco: Avenue des Ternes & rue WaldeckIn the late 1980s, the French Post Office launched the "Chronopost" parcel service with a huge advertising campaign. For the occasion, Christian Broutin created mock-ups for several stamps as well as this magnificent painted wall. It shows a postman with his mailbag on his back heading off on his deliveries. Behind him are several migrating birds struggling to keep up with him. Notice the amazing speed and variety of winged creatures chasing after the postman who is totally focussed on his duties.
