@ Rive Gauche Café Byron and Morpheus now know where to find Fantastic Buildings, as they have been given a free map! Before unfolding it, they read the cover: Boho In this part of the travel game, the pets delve into Bohemian culture in the area of the city that attracts painters, writers, musicians, sculptors and others who express themselves through art. Whether the pets spend time discussing philosophy in one of the many quaint bars or observing the creation of a masterpiece in a tiny, paint splattered studio apartment, or viewing huge graffiti pictures, they will wind up their visit with a trip to some underground cellars before ending the day with the opportunity to purchase some flowers or an elaborately decorated ridotto mask! Rive Gauche Café This open air café is just the place to gather with your friends to drink coffee and chat about your artistic endeavours, such as making music, writing books or poetry, singing, dancing, drawing, painting or sculpting.

@ Bohemian Brasserie “I don't know, Princess," mused Byron, chewing a toffee. “When I see flaky paint I scrape it down with a putty knife, then get the Polyfilla out to repair any cracks, prime it, let it dry and then repaint it. Perhaps I should leave it a couple of decades and call it art.” Bohemian Brasserie This relaxed setting plays host to a veritable colony of artists congregating in town to mix informally with like minds and kindred spirits, to discuss the new, the unorthodox and the avant garde.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Princess.

@ 18th Arrondissement Bistro Lacy nearly stumbled over Byron, who was lying stretched out on the pavement. “I was wishing I’d brought my watercolours,” said Byron. “This just cries out to be painted!” 18th Arrondissement Bistro Situated in a lively narrow street packed with bars, restaurants and cafés and thronging with artists of all types rubbing shoulders in the milieu of aesthetic innovation, this bistro is a splendid place to have a bite to eat and to take in the local colour before sallying forth—perhaps to have your portrait painted or your silhouette cut out and pasted on card!

@ Bougainvillea Alley "Oh, Byron," said get-a-job-bring-me-a-mouse-and-a-20. "Do you know the difference between beige, ecru, cream, off-white and eggshell?" "That's a strictly female skill in my experience, get-a-job-bring-me-a-mouse-and-a-20!" replied Byron.

@ Terracotta Villas Eevee scrabbled in her rucksack for her folding camping chair. “What are you doing with that, Eevee?” asked Byron. “There's a lot of the tour left to go!” "I just want to stay here a little while and chill out to the sound of that heavenly mandolin. You go ahead if you want, I'll catch you up!" said Eevee. Terracotta Villas A delicious colour palette of warm umber, sienna and terracotta softened in tone by the passage of sun-baked months and years, while the living greenery and roses add a vibrancy to the outside of these dwellings.

@ Llanos Palms House "I think there'll be quite a few tired paws, wings and flippers when we get back to the tour bus," said Puff, after she and Byron had spent some time exploring another long, narrow alleyway to its end.

@ Vino de Jerez Byron and Choose a name shook paws, said “How do you do?” and posed for a souvenir photo. “Why am I always on the left?” grumbled Byron. “Let’s change sides.” “No,” said Choose a name. “This is my best side.” Vino de Jerez Wooden barrels made by skilled artisans and their perfect seasoning with Sherry wines creates a container without equal. In Spanish a barrel is called a “tonel” and the weight of a full barrel is 1 ton. It is the same in English where the origin of the word “ton” is “tun” a wooden wine vessel. A tonelada referred to the space needed for a tonel of liquid in a ship.

You go ahead if you want, I'll catch you up!" said Bill. Rococo Windows These small windows are a delightful mix of ornate metal decoration contrasting with the smooth curves of the earth tone frames, all set off by the duck egg blue of the walls. This soft greenish blue stems from the first discovery of a blue pigment in the 18th century, which was then lightened with white.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Bill.

@ Reflective River “Some of these beautiful old houses would be lovely as a home, Byron,” Artic said. "Yes, but others could do with a bit of maintenance, perhaps!" said Byron. Reflective River Here the surface qualities of the water play a fundamental role in giving the composition of the architecture a final effect—acting in this case not as a perfect mirror but by giving a diffuse touch to the colour and texture of the reflected houses.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Artic.

@ Eternal Stone Arch “What did you think of that last thing we looked at, Dizzy?" asked Byron. "I don't know, Byron,” Dizzy said. “I don't know anything about art. I don't even know what I like!” Eternal Stone Arch This beautiful remnant of thick stone wall of earth tones with its arch over weatherbeaten yet ornate wooden doors serve as a proud rejection of the characterless and purely utilitarian. As William Morris said: "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful."
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met Dizzy.
Byron shook paws with Dizzy the Green Rapid Dragonfly. They both received one silver mole!
@ Rive Gauche Graffiti "Oh, I like the piece hanging on this wall," said George enthusiastically. "Look at the undulating yet regular metalwork, and the lovely shade of magnolia that it's been painted in." Byron snorted. ”That's the radiator, George!" he said. Rive Gauche Graffiti Throughout history, the arts have been a vessel to express ideas that were not acceptable in society.

Byron shook paws with Peaksy the Screech Owl. They both received one silver mole!
@ Scary Skeletal Scavenger “This is so great, CoCoKo!” enthused Byron. “All these intriguing narrow streets and the laid back atmosphere, the bar snacks, these fun things to look at, and the mandolin music playing while pets relax over fruit juice—I’m so glad we came here!” Scary Skeletal Scavenger Well-worked graffiti art is typically bold, creative and colourful. It changes the character of the area where it appears. In many cases this is positive, since graffiti art can turn dull monotone buildings and bare walls into interesting and eye-catching exhibitions of the imagination. High-quality graffiti contained within a particular area can raise that neighbourhood's profile as an arts scene. In time, other artists flock there, and the cultural value of the area is increased. This can in the long-term aid the local economy, as tourists head to the area to look at the graffiti, and locally-run tours pop up to show visitors around.
While visiting Fantastic Buildings, you met CoCoKo.
Byron shook paws with CoCoKo the Mauve Koala. They both received one silver mole!
@ Gallery of Glass "I think there'll be quite a few tired paws, wings and flippers when we get back to the tour bus," said Chewbie, after he and Byron had spent some time exploring another long, narrow alleyway to its end. "Is there a gift shop at the end? The thought of that generally keeps me going." Gallery of Glass Stained glass is an art form that has been in use since mediaeval times and we tend to associate it with church windows, a riot of bright colours illustrating a narrative. This example has the feel of industrial architecture about it, with its regular rectangular glass panes and muted colours but is nonetheless beautiful.

Byron shook paws with Chewbie the Dauntless Dolphin. They both received one silver mole!
@ Dandy Diamonds “What did you think of that last thing we looked at, THUMPER?" asked Byron. "I don't know, Byron,” THUMPER said. “I don't know anything about art.

Byron shook paws with THUMPER the Stormy Sky Bunny. They both received one silver mole!
@ Stylish Staircase Choose a name examined the wares in the art supply shop. “I feel inspired, Byron,” she said. “I think I'll take up painting as a hobby. It can't be that difficult, surely?” Stylish Staircase What kind of staircase do you prefer? Wide, sweeping, traditional stairs, ultra-modern floating steps, brightly painted, perspex, see-through risers, steps that provide storage or perhaps steps that light up? Would you go for stairs that have a slide incorporated for quick and easy access to a crash mat at the bottom? These stairs, with their quiet cream and brown colouring, and multistorey stairwell view ever upwards, create a definite vibe.
