Street art: the originality of Paris’s 13th arrondissement Your B55 spa hotel is located in the heart of the 13th arrondissement, a district renowned for its street art. As you stroll through the streets of Paris, discover the frescoes that decorate the immense facades of the buildings. Butte-aux-Cailles, a Montmartre-like district of Paris 13 Not far from your hotel with pool, the Butte-aux-Cailles is probably one of the capital’s most romantic districts. The narrow cobbled streets and elegantly decorated houses plunge you into a bucolic atmosphere, untouched by the hustle and bustle of the city and modern architecture. Along the way, you’ll come across works by street artists, as well as an elegant indoor swimming pool, one of the oldest in Paris. Discover the museums of the 13th arrondissement After a relaxing moment at the hotel’s indoor pool, why not take advantage of Paris’s cultural wealth to discover some of its museums? In the 13th arrondissement, you can visit the Galerie des Gobelins, where the furniture and tapestries of the Mobilier National are made, as well as the Cité de la Mode et du Design. Place d’Italie The starting point linking Paris to Italy, the Place d’Italie is now one of the capital’s largest crossroads. Impressive in size, with its huge fountain and relaxation area, the Place d’Italie is also a central location for visiting the Butte-aux-Cailles or Chinatown, or for accessing major tourist sites such as the Paris Catacombs, the Montparnasse Tower, the Jardin des Plantes… Numerous public transport services pass through the Place d’Italie to take you all over Paris (Opéra Garnier, Arc de Triomphe, Musée du Louvre…). Also worth seeing near Hotel B55 There’s so much to discover in the 13th arrondissement, why not take your curiosity to the heart of the district and discover the Cité Florale, Little Russia and the Square des Peupliers. Treat yourself to a change of scenery in the heart of Paris.   Paris is full of sites and districts to discover. So, with the summer heat, consider booking a room in a hotel with a swimming pool, to refresh and relax between visits. Hotel B55 offers a warm welcome, with a private pool and spa available all year round.

For a long time occupied by meadows, woods, and numerous mills, the 13th arrondissement of Paris was then the center of Parisian factories, before becoming this picturesque district where it is so good to walk. Let’s go for a walk in Paris 13, near the B55 hotel.   The tapestries of the Gobelins manufacture Dating from 1601, the factory was built on the initiative of King Henry IV to respond to the rise of Flemish tapestry. The royal orders are then numerous, in France as abroad, and the activity of the weavers of the manufacture has never ceased since. In 1662, Colbert, minister of Louis XIV, decided to bring together all the Parisian weaving workshops in the Gobelins factory, now famous throughout the world. It is now 4 centuries that tapestries are made there for the greatest French palaces. Attached to the Mobilier national, the Gobelins factory is still successful and famous, and visitors can come and discover the history of this historic building and the work of the weavers. Good to know: “Gobelin” was the surname of a powerful family of dyers in Paris.   The White Queen’s Islet Did you know that the 13th arrondissement of Paris was crossed by a river? The Bièvre, which meanders for more than 5 km through the district, used to give rhythm to the architecture and life of Parisians. Surprisingly, the river has not dried up today, and it continues to flow under our feet, hidden under a concrete floor since 1912. In 1290, on the banks of this charming Bièvre, Marguerite de Provence, the widow of Saint-Louis, came to live. Dressed in the traditional white mourning dress, she gave her name to the small island where her residence was located. Destroyed since the 15th century, the hotel was replaced by manufacturing buildings, at the initiative of the Gobelin family. The Hotel de la Reine Blanche was then put to many uses, always reminding us of the industrial image of the district: tile factory, tannery, dye factory and brewery followed one another. Today, the building, classified as a historical monument, can be visited and allows to discover the history of the district.   René Le Gall Square After long hours walking the streets of Paris, it is sometimes very pleasant to find a quiet space where you can sit and relax. The square René Le Gall is one of these little bubbles of fresh air in the heart of Paris. It is a typical 1930’s country setting, where the 4 gazebos (small kiosks) form a square in the center of which stands an obelisk. Also called the Gobelins garden, the square also has a magnificent rose garden which makes all the charm of the small park. Sitting on one of the benches, you will be, without knowing it, in the center of an old island located between two arms of the Bièvre: the Ile aux Singes. Formerly a vegetable garden for the workers of the Gobelins factory, this island was a place of celebration, where wine was not taxed. So, to amuse the workers who were having a good time, the entertainers let their monkeys roam free, which very quickly gave the name of Ile aux Singes to this small Parisian island. After the Bièvre River was buried, the square served for a long time as a dependency of the Manufacture des Gobelins and the Mobilier National, before being transformed into a neoclassical park by the architect Jean-Charles Moreux.   The street of Butte-aux-Cailles A former neighborhood on the banks of the Bièvre, the Butte-aux-Cailles is one of the few neighborhoods preserved from the great Haussmannian changes. In the main street of this historical district of the 13th arrondissement of Paris, one finds a picturesque village atmosphere that makes you want to stroll around and stop for a while. Take a trip to Les Abeilles, and stock up on products made by local bees (honey, gingerbread, candy, soap…). Enjoy a tea, a hot chocolate, a small cup of coffee and a pastry at the Oisive Thé, and participate in a knitting café. Or take a stroll down the shopping street where restaurants, bars and boutiques make the street lively.   The Butte-aux-Cailles swimming pool Beyond the Bièvre River, the underground passages of the Butte-aux-Cailles also hide a water table that is several thousand years old. If it allows to feed the wells of the district, and in particular the artesian well, it also feeds one of the two swimming pools of the district. Classified as a historical monument, the Butte-aux-Cailles swimming pool was built in 1924 and is still in use today. If its Art Deco architecture is worth the detour, its pool heated to 28°C all year round is also a great argument for an unusual moment of relaxation in Paris.   The picturesque streets of the Butte-aux-Cailles district With its fragile underground quarries, the Butte-aux-Cailles district was not transformed by Baron Haussmann, judging the project too dangerous. Thanks to this, we can enjoy today a picturesque district preserved by time and modernity. Like a small village in the heart of the capital, the Butte-aux-Cailles seduces with its small paved streets and its pretty colored houses. Along the streets, we find flowered gardens, old artists’ studios and small individual houses decorated with mosaics and bricks.   The Little Belt In the past, the Petite Ceinture was a railway line that went around the capital. Today, you can find remnants of it covered with flowers in many arrondissements (16th, 14th, 18th…). Since 2016, a small section of the Petite Ceinture is accessible to the public in the 13th arrondissement, between the Square des Peupliers, the Charles Trenet garden, and the Moulin de la Pointe garden.   The Floral City If the dense architecture and the Parisian crowd become too overwhelming, go to the Cité Florale. This district, built in 1928 near the Montsouris park, includes 6 alleys with small houses full of flowers. As you wander through the streets, each named after a flower, the neighborhood offers you a bubble of softness, color and tenderness, in a picturesque micro-neighborhood that seems cut off from the rest of the world. To get there, take the rue Brillat-Savarin, from the place de Rungis.   The Daviel villa and the Petite Alsace Let’s finish our walk in Paris 13 at the Petite Alsace, where small pavilions built in 1912 are composed of half-timbered houses typical of workers’ housing at the time. Each house could then accommodate up to 12 people. Not far from Little Alsace, Little Russia is also worth a visit, although it is rarely open to the public. It was so called because many Russians lived there. Opposite, the Villa Daviel is not a house, but a charming and quiet street where small houses, gardens and pavilions are aligned with harmony and coquetry on 113 meters long. Initially built for the poor, the dwellings of the Villa Daviel are today inhabited by middle-class people who appreciate the picturesque charm of the street.   The B55 hotel is ideally located in the 13th arrondissement. It is the ideal place to discover all the wonders of this picturesque district of Paris, while enjoying a charming hotel room and a spa and wellness area.-

If the city of Paris is famous for its historical monuments and its architecture which plunges us several centuries back in time, the capital also knows how to be modern and audacious. This is how street art finds its place in each district, leaving tourists free to admire amazing masterpieces. The B55 hotel invites you to discover Paris under a different eye thanks to street art.   The huge frescoes of the 13th district For several years now, the 13th arrondissement of Paris has been the favorite playground of many street artists. The monumental frescoes realized on the facades of the Parisian buildings offer to this district of Paris allures of open air museum. As soon as you get out of the Nationale metro station, you can admire about ten works. Go to the boulevard Vincent Auriol, or to the rue Jeanne d’Arc, to discover, among others, the famous fresco “Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité”, by the American urban artist Shepard Fairey, or the huge mosaic portrait of the TV character Doctor House, created by the French artist Invader. Stroll through this Parisian district to meet the colossal frescoes, and let yourself be charmed by the very varied universes proposed by the urban artists. And if you are planning to come to Paris for the 2024 Olympic Games, don’t miss the 70 portraits of sportsmen and women on display throughout Paris. You’ll find the mythical footballer Zinédine Zidane or the powerful Teddy Riner in the 13th arrondissement, at number 30 Avenue Edison.   Street art is omnipresent in eastern Paris If you go for a walk in the East of Paris, in the 19th, 20th or 11th arrondissement, you will be surprised to discover that street art is hidden at every corner. You will find permanent works and colorful frescoes, like in the Babelville mini-neighborhood, in Paris 11, or the famous fresco of the men in white making the rounds, by Jérôme Mesnager, which can be found on rue de Ménilmontant (Paris 19). But there are also many spots dedicated to ephemeral street art, like the Oberkampf Wall, in the street of the same name. Here, every 2 to 3 weeks, a new street art artist expresses himself through his art. If you have the chance to pass by during the realization of a fresco, you will be amazed to discover the real performance that represents such a work. Otherwise, you can walk around the streets. You may come across the works of the great names of French and international street art, such as Kenor, Seth, or El Pez.   The Villette district: collective murals Let’s stay in the East of Paris, and more precisely in the 19th district. Here, the artists meet two steps from the canal of Ourcq, to give again life to the colorless walls. All the graffiti artists and street artists joined their talent to bring color. One finds then the personal touches of recognized artists, like DaCruz, Psy or Marko 93. Extend your walk, to reach the rue d’Aubervilliers. There, the largest mural in Paris stretches over 493 meters long. The street artists wanted to pay tribute to Rosa Parks, the African-American symbol of peace, and each one brought his own unique touch, from Kashink to JonOne, through Combo. If you push your curiosity beyond the borders of Paris, you will discover in the city of Pantin a real open-air museum. There, in front of the Parc de la Villette, more than 30 artists have embellished the district of îlot 27 with colorful and touching works.   Street art in the heart of Paris The heart of Paris is often visited for its historical monuments, but tourists are also often surprised to see many works of street art crossed at random in the streets. In the 4th arrondissement, the artists have a lot of fun, and offer us monumental works that are worth a visit. Let’s go to the place Igor Stravinsky, to admire the work of Jef Aérosol, entirely made with stencils. Further on, in the rue de la Verrerie, it’s the artist M. Chat who expressed himself on the shutters of the BHV, and the Parisian street artist Gregos who realized, not a plaster cast of his own face, as we are used to see with him, but a feminist portrait in homage to the women’s day. In the 7th arrondissement, many tourists gather in front of Serge Gainsbourg’s former home, where the façade is covered with graffiti, collages and paintings.   Street art in Paris If you have the opportunity, during your stay in Paris, go outside the capital. Art knows no boundaries, and the street art of Paris’ neighboring cities may surprise you. Vitry-sur-Seine : art is everywhere If you have the opportunity to walk around Vitry-sur-Seine, a stone’s throw from Paris, you will see that art is everywhere. Street artists have given free rein to their imagination, expressing themselves on the walls, but also on lampposts, sidewalks, electric bollards… We can see works of art of all kinds, where forms and techniques are mixed with harmony. We discover paintings, graffiti, collages, or works made with stencils. But art is also revealed through sublime murals, of which the most famous are certainly the one of the French robot of the Pierre Semard street, realized by Pixel Pancho, and the one of the African warriors, homage to Nelson Mandela, realized by Kouka near the museum of contemporary art. The Street Art Avenue of Saint-Denis Among all the playgrounds of the great street artists of the Paris region, Saint-Denis is a place of choice, highlighted by the Grand Paris. As in the center of the capital and in Vitry-sur-Seine, you can find a variety of works by artists from all walks of life, but you can also find the bold and innovative project of Street Art Avenue. Several kilometers long, the avenue connecting La Villette to Saint-Denis gathers, since 2016, a multitude of street art works. This open-air art gallery is not to be missed if you travel to Paris.   Street art in galleries and museums Street art is an art form in its own right, and if it is, initially, a movement of expression of freedom leaving the choice to the artists to express themselves where they wish it, it is also a whole of techniques which are put at the honor in the galleries and the museums of Paris. Is it raining during your stay in Paris? Don’t spoil the pleasure of discovering Parisian street art, and go to the different exhibition spaces. You can go to Art42, the first urban art museum in France, or discover other places dedicated to street art: the Fab., the Fluctuart boat, the Mathgoth galleries, the Openspace, the Artistik Rezo, the Itinerrance, the Cabinet d’Amateur… One thing is sure, the bad weather will not prevent you from having a great time.   Planning a stay in Paris?

The history of the Fondation Cartier and its architecture The Cartier Foundation was created by Maison Cartier in 1984. An astonishing example of corporate sponsorship, the foundation moved to Boulevard Raspail, in Paris, in 1994, after having stayed for 10 years near Versailles, in Jouy- en-Josas. A programming of events showcasing contemporary art is then proposed, and themes rarely addressed elsewhere find their place. The strong identity of the foundation is expressed through all forms of art, and numerous astonishing encounters are organized between artists, philosophers, scientists, architects and musicians. But the singularity of the Cartier Foundation is also revealed by the architecture of the place, imagined by the famous French architect Jean Nouvel. THEglass and metal building in the heart of Paris astonishes and attracts attention. A unique player in corporate sponsorship The ambitions of the Cartier Foundation are to promote artists and their works through thematic exhibitions, in order to spread the power and beauty of contemporary art. Launched by Alain Dominique Perrin, former CEO of Cartier International, the foundation thus programs exhibitions, and commissions works from artists, in order to expand its collection. Today the Cartier Foundation collection is such that it is regularly exported abroad, increasing the international notoriety of the project. In addition, evenings are organised, such as the Nomadic Evenings, where the visual arts are brought into contact with other modes of expression by artists from the performing arts. A commissioning policy that goes beyond traditional sponsorship The Fondation Cartier stands out for its atypical approach to sponsorship. Here, commissions placed with artists, whether for a work, for a series of works, or even for an entire exhibition, are a way of supporting the artist by creating a relationship that goes well beyond patronage. From conception to completion, the support of the foundation is complete, offering new opportunities to artists who are entrusted with large-scale projects. Since its creation, the foundation has placed orders with many artists, such as Marc Couturier, Absalon, Jean-Michel Othoniel, or Huang Yong Ping. Since 1994, the orders are more numerous and more diversified, and allow to approach art without limit. Discovering new talents Since its creation, the foundation has displayed its ambition to discover new talents hitherto unknown in France and Europe. True springboard for young artists, the foundation has already contributed to the success of many artists, such as video artist Pierrick Sorin, designer Marc Newson, sculptor Ron Mueck and photographer Alair Gomes. The foundation also puts Japanese art in the spotlight, and introduces the European public to today’s renowned artists, such as Rinko Kawauchi, Takashi Murakami, or Tanadori Yokoo.   Come and browse the exhibitionThe valley de Fabrice Hyber If you are passing through the Montparnasse district between December 8, 2022 and April 30, 2023, go to the Fondation Henri Cartier to discover the exposition The valley, by the painter Fabrice Hyber.
