Meet your guide and drive to Marseille's city center. Visit the oldest district of the city, (Le Panier) famous for its graffiti and the free artistic expression of artists. Loïc lives in Le Panier and will teach everything about cultural drawings, painted in this district.
Share a delicious homemade drink and pastry in a local coffee house to introduce Street Art to the group.
Visit Loïc Perrel gallery and watch him draw a workpiece for each of you using a paper stencil with the colors that you had chosen and take away your tailor-made graffiti souvenir.
Create graffiti chosen by the group, on a wall with him (with the right permissions), using many watercolor sprays. The equipment to paint will be provided by the artist (mask, clothes protection, gloves, sprays, and caps). Loïc Perrel will oversee your collective artwork and you will be coached by the artist to use the sprays with caps. Teamwork will be the key factor of success for his unique artistic moment.
At the end of this wonderful experience, get the opportunity to take pictures of the group and the collective graffiti. The principle of this art is to be short lived. The artists are free to graff on another graff, and the photo is the only way to conserve its masterpiece.
