Itinerary
This is not the Paris of centuries ago; Belleville, with its charming small streets, is where French singer Edith Piaf grew up and where, in the 1980s, many Parisian artists and musicians lived because of the lower rents. Former industrial buildings were converted into artists' studios, and Belleville became the center of Paris' urban art movement.

We hit a patch of rare weather that was snowing windy and cold on our first morning in Paris. BUT Olga made the tour fantastic. She was very knowledgable had lots interesting stories and anecdotes to add about various artists, history of specific locations and works of street art. My 10 yr old son afterwards was talking about the tour for a number of days asking random questions from what Olga had shared with us. A quiet and intimate opportunity to walk the streets of Paris and learn more about the Parisian Street Art History and Culture...away from the masses and crowds.

Our guide Olga was great. Took us on a route to see some amazing street art, with lots of history and of course politics involved. Good to see so much climate related street art. We wouldn't have found a lot of the pieces without her guidance. Informative and fun walk, would recommend.

A delightful tour by an equally delightful tour guide! Our guide was very knowledgeable, very enthusiastic about the art and artists, and took plenty of time to answer questions and explain history and context. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to divert from the usual art experience in Paris and take a look at the art of expression on the streets. And believe me, there is a lot to see and take in! Truly enjoyed the whole experience from beginning to end.
We can definitely recommend the tour. Lots of information about street art in Paris packed with lots of good stories. In addition, we got to know the BelleVille district, which we did not know yet. The guide spoke great English and was very sympathetic.
<p>What a fantastic way to see the other side of Paris. Loved it. Highly recommend it. The guide was lovely.</p>
<p>Eloise was our guide, she was very knowledgeable and her admiration for art and artists was contageous. Not only was she well informed but well prepared and personable, devising a fun quiz for us at the end. She contextualised street art and helped us to open our eyes to this genre. We were a group of 3 two adults and a teenager, so great to have a 'bespoke' tour with coffee stop at our request.</p>
