La Croix-Rousse is still climbing in our hearts. After the Prunelle or Mermet stairs, it’sthe Pouteau stairs, which are about to steal the spotlight from the already well-tattooed walls of the city. Soon, the grand flight of stairs connecting Diderot Street to Lemot Street will transform into an open-air artwork. But here, there’s no question of letting the brushes run free without consultation: it’s up to you to decide the style and the artist!
Lyon, paradise of painted stairs
Until this Sunday, July 20, the residents of Lyon are invited to vote via Facebook to choose between three artists who have long been supported by Akka Studio, the collective that has already added color to the Mermet stairs, the Carmelites, the Pasteur stairs, and even along the banks of the Rhône. In short, these guys know how to makeover urban spaces. With this new mural, the Pouteau stairs are set to become a must-visit spot for strollers, street art fans, and Instagrammers in search of a stylish backdrop.
