Selection of covers from visits from the wonderful French capital.
Like most cities around the world Paris is continually remaking the footpaths, thus older covers are now difficult to see. Especially in central Paris. Have yet to visit older parts that have not been rehabilitated.
Eaux is french for water.
Good selection of wide variety of gas covers.
Included a set of four images of gas covers that are not on footpaths / sidewalks, but on sides of buildings. #7039 - #7042. Most of these are pre World War II vintage, if not much earlier.
Oct 2022 - images #8149 - #8189 added.
Hover mouse for ID number.
Note - Lip balm for scale is 70mm long and 18mm diam.
Featured image:
#7044 a rectangular ductile iron cover featuring 'Ville de Paris'.
