Morlaix Street Art in Morlaix, France

Morlaix is a medieval market town in Brittany. The Old Quarter has many half-timbered buildings overhanging the narrow cobbled streets. The last thing you expect to see in such a quaint medieval town is modern street art. Huge, beautiful murals have been painted on the sides of ramshackle old buildings and modern blocks of flats. Some overlook ancient thoroughfares and others busy car-parks. The art has been created by a number of artists and tours are available to see them all, however on any walk around the town centre you will discover unexpected colourful surprises.
