Space invaders

Montauban is also the playground of the famous French artist Invader. Like many other cities around the globe, including Hollywood and Tokyo, he has taken over our pink city and scattered his mosaic characters around it.

Graffiti in the city

Street art is also increasingly visible on the city’s facades. Graffiti, collages, trompe l’oeil… by renowned artists such as 100Taur, Mog and Azco, will surprise you on your stroll.
