10 photos immortalise the disappearing cafes of Paris
Paris is one of the most captivating, fascinating cities in the world and in this photo series the city’s eerie, sometimes surreal beauty really comes to the fore.
Titled ‘Red Lights’, this photo series composed by talented French artist Blaise Arnold, is designed to provides a stunning, mesmerising document of the fading beauty of the many of the old cafes and bars that adorn the streets of the City of Light.
As bigger businesses muscle out the smaller shops, Mr Arnold hopes his work will provide a way for people to remember and appreciate these classic bistros.
The pictures themselves are absolutely mesmerising, with the bright, neon light of the shop’s signs contrasting with the bleak surrounds of the empty streets.
To see all of the pictures scroll through the gallery above.
