(I saw the comments by "anonymous", but the steak tartare was good!)<br /><br />You asked a question about who created the kiosques? I don't know. Have tried to find out. The design, basically always the same and obviously dating from the end of the 19th century, is clearly related to the advertsing columns you find everywhere in Paris, called Morris columns ("colonnes Morris" which were introduced a bit earlier, in the middle of the 19th century) and somehow also to the Wallace water fountains, introduced around 1870. The number of kiosques is again increasing, but most are of course just copies. I don't know if any of the original ones are still around.PeterParishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09694538476960957295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-15325536728346260352010-02-01T16:50:31.305-05:002010-02-01T16:50:31.305-05:00Uu steak tartare dans un endroit pareil !
