Visite guidée : Paris Street Art à la Butte-aux-Cailles

It's not just in Montmartre that artists are gaining height! Welcome to Butte-aux-Cailles, a historic district which, from a land of cultures, has become the privileged ground of countercultures.

Culminating 63 meters above the hustle and bustle of the city, the Butte-aux-Cailles district has the air of a country village. Formerly covered with fields, woods and mills, it gradually developed around Bièvre thanks to artisanal and industrial activities.

Its bucolic atmosphere has made it today a paradise for walkers, but also for street artists who place their ephemeral works on its walls. Who are they? And why did they choose Buttes aux Cailles specifically? Invader, Jace, Jef Aérosol, Misskat... Your guide will teach you to recognize them and read their testimonies on the city walls. What do their characters represent? Who brought together these unique animals - hippos, octopuses, felines... - to create a funny menagerie in the heart of Paris? A real urban safari, in black and white and color, which will allow you to discover the most discreet works as well as the most monumental frescoes of the Street Art hill.

During these meetings, your guide will reveal to you the keys to understanding an urban art movement in constant evolution, imbued with poetry, and intimately linked to the history of this very atypical district in the heart of Paris.
