I did not do my usual sorting routine but simply laid out all the pieces onto the foam boards. There seemed to be a lot of browns and blues that would be easy to start with. |

The Chez Michelle puzzle also comes with a very nice size poster. I tend to lightly tape the poster to the top outside the box then put the box onto my puzzle stand with the empty plastic bag in the inside of the box - keeping it altogether! |

The border was completed quickly enough by joining the blue colour patterns together first, then the cobblestone along the bottom. The building became clear so that left the left side for the end. Then, once the border was complete, I continued with the blue water pieces. After that I started with the next large section with outstanding colours which was the red and white canopy. The three small green areas were next and then the flowers and produce stand. The majority of pieces that were left fell into the cobblestone.

The matte finish is always nice on these puzzles. As is the cut and quality of Cobble Hill jigsaw puzzles. I am quite pleased to see these types of images become available for seniors who require the easy handling size for sensitive hands. And the 275 pieces makes it a good time for a one-time sitting puzzle session. The Artist, John O'Brien had a "passion for France, Italy and Ireland can be seen in the romantic settings of elegant interiors, European street scenes, and neighborhood cafes and pubs' (quoted from the website). It sure is worth taking a look at the most beautiful artwork displayed on this website: http://www.johnobrienartist.com/street-scenes/
