Belleville Street Art Tour with an Artist

Overview

Belleville is the most famous Street Art neighbourhood of Paris. It has been an artists’ destination since the early ’80s. They where living in numerous squats that over the years turned into art galleries, art-studios and art communities. It is a favourite place for many French artists, like Nemo, Jérôme Mesnager or Philippe Herard. And associations, like Art Azoi or Le M.U.R., often bring international artists to the scene. Artists community makes this area the most vibrant and constantly changing, inviting the locals to participate in many local activities, including art-making, poetry or gardening. During the tour, an artist, who has more than six years of experience in the topic, would share with you an intimate history of how the neighbourhood and its street art came to be as they are today. You would not only learn about the history of street art in Paris but hopefully you will start to recognise some of the most active street artists. Combined group can have up to 15 guests.
