Millau Street Art Experience

Today, I’ve got an appointment at the foot of Millau’s belfry, in front of the Tourist Office: I’ve signed up for the Millau Street Art guided tour offered by the Tourist Office.
And I have to say, I’m looking forward to discovering the origins of the artistic creations that decorate the town!

.

With our small group complete, we follow Katia to learn about the origins of this sometimes disparaged or rather misunderstood art…

And our Street Art experience begins just around the corner.
We come across the first artist “blazes” on signage or even fire hydrants.

Where are the city’s most important rooms located? And yes, on the waterfront, more precisely on the banks of the Tarn.
In barely 5 minutes, we leave the city center and reach the banks of the Tarn.
A tunnel opens the passage to an impressive length of originality.
This little tunnel was already announcing the color to tell the truth!!
Spectacular in its liveliness and imagination, the various graffiti arts are represented on these quays.

The highlight of our guided tour, we move on to actual practice.
Raphaël, graffiti artist in Millau and guide for the day.
Blaze : Raphat
Crew : StrangrS

Raphaël grew up with Graff’!!
20 years of practice behind him… and now, he wants to share his passion “for letters” as he so aptly puts it.
And what could be better than taking the bombs, a piece of wall and letting your own creativity express itself…

After a few explanations regarding the tools and putting on our masks, we’re off!”
Bomb in hand, we follow Raphaël’s recommendations to immortalize our “blaze” in the millavian city.
The whole group has a great time, children and parents alike get caught up in the game!”

This visit is a huge surprise! What a pleasure!
Thanks to Raphël for passing on a little of his passion.
