I live in an area called the "3 borders".
In the junction of France, Germany and Switzerland.
I've found this graffiti in France in an alleyway.
You can see the 3 countries : France, Germany ( Allemagne) and Switzerland (Suisse).
The 3 capitals : Paris, Berlin and Berne.
The 3 flags.
And the 3 towns that are touching each others Saint Louis, Lörrach and Basel.
In the same day, I can go in the 3 countries : I live in Switzerland, I can purchase my food in France, and can have a walk in Germany....
Sympa ce petit graffiti... a priori, comme ça, je vois pas mal d'avantages à habiter à un tel endroit... des inconvénients ?

How wonderful to be able to enjoy all three countries. Neat sign.

@svt @hasselhotch Pas mal d'avantages en fait, on prend le meilleur de chaque et on laisse le moins bon...les restaurants et le shopping en général sont moins chers en Allemagne, la nourriture est meilleure en France (je suis un peu chauvine ), et la vie est très calme et "safe" en Suisse....Des inconvénients ...sans doute le côté austère et strict des alémaniques....moi qui viens du sud de la France, je ne les trouve pas particulièrement très funs !

Very cool graffiti and what's cooler is the ability to hop from one country to another and be able to speak their languages as well.

Fantastic grafitti, if it was all so beautifully crafted I would have no complaints!
May 13th, 2012  
That's not graffiti! That is art and it's beautiful! Lovely capture, Corinne!

This is so cool. I love it! My inlaws live about 2 km's from the French border in Switzerland (on the edge of Geneva). They go over to buy food in France all the time. Coming from the USA and now Australia- the idea of popping across an international border to buy bread for breakfast is just so amazingly weird to me!

Wow, this is amazing ... 3 countries in the same day!
May 14th, 2012  
Cool capture & thanks for the info!
May 14th, 2012  
Love the art!

What a great find. Very talented artist.
May 14th, 2012  
Cool

What a great piece of art, that is not grafitti in my opinion. Sounds like an amazing place to live, full of diverse culture.
May 14th, 2012  
It is great photo and picture!

@sugarmuser sure, if you're fed up with one country you just have to pass one border !
@bardejov my German is a nightmare, but most of people speaks French or English...so it's not a problem !
@judithdeacon me neither ... I've got a wall in my garden and think it could be great too ;)
@marlboromaam I am amazed by the talent of those street artists too !
@terryvet92 yes I understand, Switzerland is such a small country that you can reach from the center of it, Italy, France, Austria, Germany in less than 2 hours ...
