Description

Head to Butte-aux-Cailles to explore, with a guide, the most beautiful ephemeral and permanent works of street artists. It's not just in Montmartre that artists reach new heights! Welcome to Butte-aux-Cailles, a historic neighborhood that has transformed from a land of culture into a haven for countercultures.<br><br> Rising 63 meters above the hustle and bustle of the city, the Butte-aux-Cailles district has the feel of a country village. Once covered with fields, woods and mills, it gradually developed around the Bièvre river thanks to artisanal and industrial activities.<br><br> Its bucolic atmosphere has made it a haven for walkers, but also for street artists who leave 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 interpret their messages on the city walls. What do their characters represent? Who brought together these unusual animals—hippos, octopuses, felines—to create a whimsical menagerie in the heart of Paris? A true urban safari, in black and white and color, will allow you to discover both the most discreet works and the most monumental murals of this Street Art Hill.<br><br> Through these encounters, your guide will reveal 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.<br><br> <b><li>Namely:</li></b><br> <b>The meeting place and contact details for Cultival customer service are shown on your ticket.</b><br><br> - Please arrive 15 minutes before the start of your visit. - Comfortable shoes are strongly recommended. - In case of inclement weather making the visit impossible, Cultival reserves the right to postpone the visit
