Paris is not just a historic city, it's also an open-air gallery where every street corner can reveal a work of art. The Parisian walls transform into giant canvases thanks to graffiti, stencils, collages, and murals, offering passersby a unique visual experience. The Canal de l'Ourcq, once an industrial domain, is now a vibrant scene where urban artists express their overflowing creativity.

Continuing your cruise, you will arrive at Pantin, where you will discover:

  • Dengju, the Empress of China, a mysterious work created by an anonymous artist
  • Marion Cotillard, depicted as a relaxing summer icon

At the turnaround point near the Pont de Bondy, you will be dazzled by:

  • The Wall of Bobigny, a historic space that has seen numerous artistic experiments
  • Batsh and his poignant mural "Look at Me"
