Legal graffiti wall in Paris, France

4 Comments

Beaucoup de murs. Tunnel éclairé. Ouvert de 9h à 17h00 en cette période.

attention, j'ai demandé a des agents de la ville et ils m'ont dit que officiellement ce n'est pas legal, la police ferme les yeux et tolère, mais s'ils veulent la police municipale peut verbaliser, surtout si des jogger se plaignent, donc le terrain est officieux.

I went there a couple months ago. It is very safe, but there's not a lot of room. It's very simple to access and I met other graffiti artists that were really cool. J'y suis allé il y a quelque mois, c'est très safe mais y'a pas beaucoup d'espace sur les murs. C'est hyper accessible (un escalier et c'est bon) et j'ai rencontré d'autres personnes en train de peindre qui étaient vraiment cool.

was there in November. There are plenty of walls under the tunnel, so despite the rain I was still able to paint. The only downside is that there are quite a few sketchy people around. I went at around 10 a.m., and there were already some pretty sketchy characters there (mostly junkies/homeless people). One guy stood completely still staring at a lamp for about 45 minutes before disappearing, and another guy was pacing around the area shouting aggressively. He seemed like a ticking time bomb, and I definitely wouldn’t want to run into him there when it’s dark and there’s no one else around. Luckily, during the day there seem to be a lot of “urban hikers” exploring the abandoned tracks, so it turned out fine—but I’d recommend not going alone if you’re petite or easily intimidated.

Is this wall still safe to paint?
