Discover Belleville's street art
with a local artist guide

Walk around Belleville, an area known for its street art, for about 2 hours and 15 minutes. Your guide, with at least 6 years of experience leading street art tours, guides you in English and shares the stories behind the murals and works in the area's streets from a local's perspective.

Hear how Belleville became an artists' neighborhood

In the early 1980s, struggling artists moved to Belleville to live in squatted buildings, turning it into an artists' neighborhood. Over time, art galleries, studios and an art community took root, and residents still take part in art-making as well as activities such as poetry and gardening, keeping the neighborhood lively.

Find works by French and international artists

Explore the spots favored by French artists such as Nemo, Jérôme Mesnager and Philippe Hérard, as well as associations like Art Azoï and Le M.U.R. that often invite international artists. Learn about the history of Paris street art and get to know some of the most active street artists to look out for during the rest of your stay in Paris.

Enjoy views of Paris from Belleville hill

Belleville is the second-highest hill in Paris, so you can also enjoy views over the city. Every Saturday the tour ends with a live performance, and sometimes there is an event opening a new wall in the neighborhood with free drinks.

※ The tour takes place entirely outdoors and runs regardless of the weather.
