Beautiful Deterioration

France is saturated with history and when I say you can see and feel it as you walk down the streets, I mean quite literally, you can reach out and FEEL the deterioration of each  of the hundreds of years that have past either through the eroding of a sculptural water fountain or layers of chipping paint.

There are thousands examples of these beautiful deteriorations but these are a few of my personal favorites.
