The second example from Rue Gourgues et Marsaud has not only flowers, found atop the second-storey windows, but has many other fine details, including the hexagonal frames of the windows and doors. The upside down triangle and wave motifs are exceptional.

It was built almost a hundred years ago, in 1927, and while no longer run by the same people, it has remained in the same business. The current management has been there selling costumes for over 30 years. Bright and colourful orange and green tiles, set with stepping-in, balance mosaics of masks and lettering, while along the top the shop’s name is spelt out in an Art Deco typeface.
