This 2km-long street in the 10th and 11th arrondissements is ripe for artistic exploration. Keep your eyes off the pavement and on the walls, and you’ll see classic elements of Parisian street art like Invader’s video game-inspired tilework and black-and-white portraits by Shepard Fairey. Close to the intersection with rue Oberkampf, another street on our list, you’ll find a recent work by Kashink, arguably Paris’ most notable female street artist working today. Her work has a strong feminist strain and has been said to echo that of Frida Kahlo.
