France / StreetartThe urban space in Nice, especially in the center and along the beach promenade, is kept very conservatively clean and tidy for the tourist; there are hardly any of the small brighteners that are usually found in cities, such as paste-ups, stickers or stencils. But as is often the case, if you take a closer look, you can always find something. In the outer districts and suburbs it’s a different story, there’s more graffiti and therefore also more stickers. Check out the collection sorted by various categories.
