Art on a grand scale
Here, there’s no need to step inside a museum. You just need to look up. Along the Canal Saint-Denis, the walls are transformed into gigantic canvases and works of art appear as you wander along the path.
Since 2016, artists from near and far have taken over the canal banks to create an art trail that has become a must-see. Huge murals, monumental figures, vibrant colours or details you only notice when you get up close: each artwork creates its own unique world.
But behind every mural, there’s always a story. With your guide, discover the artists, their techniques, their inspirations and the hidden messages in their creations.
As you stroll along, the street art interacts with the canal, the former industrial wastelands and the new neighbourhoods that are transforming the landscape. It’s a constantly evolving setting where artworks appear, disappear, age or reinvent themselves.
From Da Cruz to Marko93, Street Art Avenue transforms a waterside stroll into a veritable open-air gallery. And here, there’s no question of standing quietly in front of the artworks: we walk, we observe, we chat and we let ourselves be surprised.
