Here is a post from MessyNessyChic that's quite amazing. It shows photos of the liberation of Paris from a given location placed over the current Paris street scene. Just incredible.

What great pictures! Thanks for the link. I had trouble viewing on the messynessy site as popups kept covering the picture. I did find them with more details on the locations than I could see on the messynessy site.

Agree. Must be why they call the website 'MessyNessyChic', it's definitely messy. I was able to see the photos okay, though had to keep deleting the overlays to do it.

Love the pictures!
