The 13th arrondissement's Grand Banquet returns under the Paris metro viaduct

After a successful first edition in 2022, the Grand Banquet du 13e returns to the south-east of the capital with a new and second edition just as beautiful and warm. What is the Grand Banquet du 13e? It's a popular, convivial celebration organized by the Mairie du 13e and Galerie Itinerrance, on the initiative of Boulevard Paris 13. Not to be missed this year on Thursday, June 15, 2023, this Grand Banquet du 13e will take place from 7pm on the Boulevard Vincent Auriol square, more precisely under the viaduct of line 6 of the aerial metro, between rue Jeanne d'Arc and rue du Chevaleret.

The event is also an opportunity to celebrate the arrival of fine weather, and to (re)discover the open-air street art museum that has made the 13th arrondissement's reputation for several years now. It's in this part of Paris, on Boulevard Vincent Auriol to be exact, that numerous frescoes have been created by renowned street artists such as Shepard Fairey, D*Face, Inti and Wen2. The second edition of this Grand Banquet du 13e is therefore an opportunity to admire the new works of this open-air museum"Boulevard Paris 13", while enjoying a great convivial meal.
