Hey there! Let me tell you all about Belleville, the coolest Street Art neighborhood in Paris. Since the early ’80s, artists have flocked to this area, turning squats into galleries, studios, and creative communities. It’s a hotspot for French artists like Nemo, Jérôme Mesnager, and Philippe Herard, and organizations like Art Azoi and Le M.U.R. often bring in artists from around the world.
The artist community in Belleville keeps things lively and ever-evolving, with locals encouraged to join in on activities like art-making, poetry, and gardening. When you take a tour of the area, you’ll be guided by an artist with over six years of experience, who will share the fascinating history of how Belleville and its street art scene came to be. Not only will you learn about Parisian street art history, but you might even start spotting some of the most prominent street artists around.
Tours usually have up to 15 guests, so it’s a fun and intimate way to explore this vibrant neighborhood.
