Venus at the book fair

This is the Place de la Loge in Perpignan. It was once the heart of the city, containing the town hall, the mercantile exchange and the chamber of deputies. The square is used as a market for different items on different days, books and records on Wednesdays. The statue is Venus, by Aristide Maillol, a locally-born sculptor.

Great shot. I like a book and record market....

There's a lot to see in this picture. I do love the architecture of the buildings.
Books & records...going the way of the dinosaurs....

Thanks for sharing this photo of this lovely sculpture in the square. How much more civilized than to display a sculpture of some dead general. I enjoyed your commentary, too. Thank you for sharing.

I saw your reference on M Brutus @mbrutus site...the work is so lovely, I wanted to see more! What a beautiful setting where people can enjoy art in a public setting... So very civil!
