MANHOLE ART!

Move over Urban Guerilla Knitting, Manhole Cover Illumination is the new now. In Chalon-en-Champagne (you can't get away from the local tipple here), all the rage is manhole cover 'Art'. There does seems to be a bias towards known cartoon characters, however, the more we explore a greater diversity may arise.


Snowy - Tintin.


Professor Calculus - Tintin.


A French boy with baguette - Unknown provenance.

It does seem to be supported by the Hotel de Ville. I assume as long as it does not get out of control.
