Old Parisian Café 🇫🇷

Story of the Old Parisian Café design

Old Parisian Café is an idea to revive an old postcard from Paris.
This café no longer exists in Paris, and has become a store for adults. However, this café, as a result of war, was a meeting point for the inhabitants of the Pigalle district. The walls were painted with period advertising. Watch Charles create this design from drawing to completion on our YouTube channel.
