The multitude of artists' studios, or ateliers, in Paris and the Ile-de-France region provide fertile ground for artistic creation. From the bohemian to the internationally renowned, artists take you behind the scenes to reveal the home of their inspiration and imagination.
During “Open Days”, contemporary artists open their ateliers to the public and share their creative passion with visitors.
Explore the Artists' Ateliers of Belleville and the Maison-Atelier Foujita in the Essonne, or go to number 59 on the Rue de Rivoli, where you'll find the art collective known as “Chez Robert, électrons libres” (“Robert's House of Free Electrons”).
The Pulsart Association, located in Montreuil, develops projects that encompass various exhibitions held throughout Ile-de-France.
On a different note, exploring the ateliers and homes of artists from days gone by – such as Eugène Delacroix, Victor Hugo and Claude Debussy – can be a very compelling experience, a pilgrimage that will provide you with new perspectives on their creations and a rich store of anecdotes.
