I had planned to post on something else altogether. But as I was searching for pictures these motifs répètés kept popping up. Have you ever walked past a Parisien patisserie where the window was not full of delicious repeated pastry patterns?
French marché are full of the most innovative repeated arrangements of vegetables and fruits and whatever...
The Velib lined up on many streets one after the other. 
Is the origin of all this patterns répéter Baron Haussmann's buildings?
Every Parisien café will supply you with plenty of visual patterns - the rattan chairs for example...
The ardoise listing the day's specials...
Your petit dejeuner OJ...
Ice cream cups, cones and flavors = patterns of Paris...
Ladurée is the master of the visual motifs répètés...Nobody does it better.
Knowing you can look up at any street corner and see a street sign that tells you what arrondissement you're in is a repeated pattern...
Margaux Motin has drawn over and over the iconic French girl wearing her iconic scarf - this can only be a French girl (or a wannabe) = instantly recognizable.
Repeating a brand over and over again in every form imaginable - nobody does this better than the French. Think Vuitton, Dior, YSL etc.
This Parisien artist outside Notre Dame is busy creating sillouette patterns from black paper, his sissors are ready to do your portrait.
Here's a repeated pattern the Parisiens can't get enough of - they will gladly shred their fromage on this Pylones Tour Eiffel. All of these pictures were taken on just one day -3.21.09 It can't be just me that sees all these motifs répètés in Paris.Do you have favorite repeated Parisien patterns?
BONJOUR WEEK-END!!!
