Grenelle Yards
by Natalie Hegert














One of the most central places to view Paris graffiti outdoors and above ground is the basketball and football courts between Boulevard de Grenelle and Rue de la Fédération just outside of the Bir-Hakeim metro.  The yards get quite a lot of foot traffic as they form a shortcut between the two major roads, and serve as a popular grounds for sport, but the walls surrounding them are inscribed with some of the best and most colorful examples of Paris' graffiti scene.
