L'Expo des 150 is back, and this time it has moved into the former Zara at Denfert-Rochereau. The clothes rails and fitting rooms are gone. In their place: 2,400 m² over three floors, canvases, sculptures and the smell of spray paint.
On the ground floor, L'Expo des 150 itself: works for sale, artists in residence, a big art shop. You'll run into Stesi 156, Jo Di Bona, Berthetone and Titomulk. On the first floor, StreetArt Denfert gathers the 200 artists from Codex Urbanus's Petit Atlas de poche (little pocket atlas): Mesnager's white silhouettes, Chanoir's cats, Petite Poissone's one-liners.
The best part is downstairs. The old basement offices have been painted from floor to ceiling, straight onto the walls. With the Catacombs two streets away, it's the full-colour version of the 14th's underground.
It's free, but you have to book a time slot on Eventbrite. It's open every day 11am–8pm from 3 to 25 October, with the vernissage (opening day) on 3 October from 2 to 10pm, by Metro and RER B Denfert-Rochereau. Last year, 100,000 people came in 17 days: don't leave it for the final weekend.
