Boulevard Paris 13
Launched in 2013 by the Itinerrance gallery with the 13th arrondissement town hall, Boulevard Paris 13 is an open-air museum: some forty monumental murals painted on building gables, mainly along boulevard Vincent-Auriol between Nationale and Place d'Italie.
International artists — Shepard Fairey, Inti, Seth, Conor Harrington — have created works several storeys high, free to see at any hour. Tip: follow the boulevard beneath the elevated metro, which gives the best distance for photographing the murals; allow an hour on foot for the main stretch.
