The 13th arrondissement is one of the world's great open-air street art museums, born from the Boulevard Paris 13 project launched in 2009. This self-guided audio walking tour takes you to 18 large-scale murals by internationally renowned artists including Shepard Fairey (Obey), C215, D*Face, Pantonio and Okuda, along a flat, easy 5 km route.

After booking, you receive a digital guide with 21 audio tracks. The first tracks give you the global history of street art and its story in France; each stop then has its own commentary explaining the artist and the work in front of you. Along the way you'll also spot hundreds of smaller signed works scattered through the neighborhood.

The walk covers about 5 km and takes around 3 hours at your own pace.
