Itinerary

Stop 1

1 h 30 min

Wander the delightful alleys of Montmartre and discover the places where Picasso, Van Gogh, Renoir and other iconic artists lived and created, in the company of a local guide expert in art and street-art. Follow in the footsteps of illustrious artists of days gone by, find the addresses of their workshops and discover the artists of modern-day Montmartre.

If Montmartre was the district of artists in the 19th century, it is now one of the most important areas in Paris to see urban art flourish. Stroll through its cobbled streets, lined with delightful houses and gardens; parts of Montmartre away from the tourist crowds have not changed for decades. You will find murals, glued papers, stencils and graffiti brightening up the streets! From the frescoes of Swed Oner to the 3D faces of Gregos, from the glued paper works of Twotma to the more committed works of The End, from Space Invader known throughout the world to the most confidential Pply, discover the best of Parisian street art!
La Butte Aux Cailles

1 h 30 min

The Butte aux Cailles is the only district in Paris that really sums up the history of street art: you’ll find artworks by both artists of the 1980’s right up to emerging artists of the present day. You’ll see works that are more or less hidden by the artists – artists are sometimes shy! Others want to show us all their work…some artworks have been here for several years, others appeared only a few days ago. Your guide knows many of the artists and will be able to teach you about the works you see, guiding you through the history and techniques of Urban Art in Paris. From Jeff Aérosol and Miss Tic to Le Long and Princess Ecchymose, discover the best of Parisian Street Art and the artists who best represent the ‘French Touch’ and its flagship technique; ‘le pochoir’. And what better way to explore this fascinating district than embarking on a street art hunt with an expert guide who is also a street artist!
