What To Expect

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

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!

Street art is great

What is street art? Our guide Thierry showed us the differences in street art. We went to the Louvre and prefer the street art tour because they say more about the techniques and the local artists. We are sensitized to see street art in other districts where you just walk by. Street art is not only large formats on house walls (like Mural Art), it is the presentation of the artists of your art as they 'prepare' it. Suddenly, from the many presentations, artists recognize 'Mystic', NDF and others (even outside the actual artist districts). Unforgettable
A must see tour with lots of amazing art works!

This tour is a MUST! Such a great way to see Paris! We covered so many artists over a large area and I learned so much about the works of art as well as the artists. Don’t worry about the walk…it’s mostly flat and moves at a leisurely pace. Plenty of good photo ops and I can’t stress how much great knowledge was shared about the artists and techniques!! I was lucky enough to have a one on one tour and enjoyed every minute of it! I would definitely recommend this tour and I’d go again!

Piazza Maggiore, symbol and beating heart of the city of Bologna, is the result of centuries-old transformations that have enriched it from a historical, cultural and architectural point of view: the Basilica of San Petronio, the Palazzo dei Notai, the Palazzo d'Accursio, the Palazzo del Podestà and the Palazzo dei Banchi. It is also a meeting place for religious, political, cultural and gastronomic events.

We enjoyed our time at The Butte aux Cailles in the company of Thierry, who is passionate about street art, we enjoyed a beautiful and interesting afternoon, listening and learning about the artists, their works and anecdotes, and we were even able to witness one of them in the middle of a new work. Thank you Thierry!
