See Street Art in Paris

Street Art uses public space innovatively and beneficially to beautify our streets and dull walls. This recent and trendy art form can be found in various spots throughout the capital. Our professional guides have selected some iconic neighborhoods to offer you Street Art walks in Paris: Street Art in Belleville in the 20th arrondissement where a wall is available thanks to the squat 'la Friche'; Street Art along the elevated metro in the 13th arrondissement with large murals; in Butte aux Cailles where you can discover famous artists like Miss Tic or Seth; in the Marais for a hunt for Space Invaders; and in Montmartre, where the Street Art takes you through the steps of the great names who have marked the art and history of Montmartre.

What is Street Art?

Considered an artistic movement, Street Art or Urban Art was born in the 1960s. It encompasses all forms of art created in public places. This ephemeral and sometimes political art form uses various techniques such as stencils, graffiti, and posters. Prominent in capitals like Berlin, it has gradually developed in Paris over the years, sometimes supported by public authorities.

Which Street Art neighborhoods in Paris and which guided tour to choose?

Belleville is the iconic Street Art neighborhood in Paris with its famous rue Denoyez covered in works. This tour, like other Street Art tours, aims to explain the origins of this art, the different modes of expression (painting, stenciling, collage, etc.), and to discover more or less known works throughout the route.

In the 13th arrondissement, a district in eastern Paris with its large towers, Street Art has developed under the municipality's initiative to "add color" to the neighborhood. The city hall commissioned works from artists. This tour allows you to discover monumental murals and other works by famous artists (French and international) such as Obey’s Marianne, a "copy" of which is in the Élysée Palace offices. It’s a true open-air museum!

In Butte aux Cailles, it’s a mix of discovering the Butte aux Cailles neighborhood with its small houses and some flowered streets, as well as the history of the Commune since this area was a significant battle site during the Commune. Additionally, it features many Street Art works, including those by the famous Miss Tic or Seth.

In the Marais, works by certain artists like Invader and C215 are placed near iconic spots to give you a new perspective on them. From rue Vieille du Temple to Place des Vosges, passing through the legendary rue des Rosiers, this artistic exploration follows the footsteps of Philippe-Auguste and Charles VI, the court of Henry II, and Louis XIV.

In Montmartre, Street artists use its walls as canvases to illustrate their stories. Far from being random, these artists' spots, like Invader and Monsieur Chat, are placed near iconic locations to offer a new perspective and immerse you in the footsteps of the great names who have marked the art and history of Montmartre.
