Entrance to the Former Saint-André Cemetery, 13 Rue Suger, in 1906. 6th Arrondissement
1906
Step back into 1906 Paris with this charming street scene capturing the entrance to the old Saint-André cemetery on Rue Suger. Frédéric Houbron masterfully uses loose, expressive brushstrokes to bring the cobblestone street to life, where a cart piled high with wooden chairs sits ready for transport. Tall, weathered buildings line the narrow alley, their warm ochre and brown tones glowing in the soft light, while a few figures stroll by, adding a touch of everyday hustle to this historic corner of the 6th arrondissement. It's a wonderful snapshot of a city in transition, preserving a quiet moment before the modern world took over.
