Arthur Rimbaud murals in Charleville-Mézières, Ardennes (08)

In a sense, Charleville-Mézières is Arthur Rimbaud because everywhere you go in the town his presence can't be avoided: the tourist tat here, in an ordinary shop, is testimony to that. Er, if you want a bust of Rimbaud, small or large, then come here. An yet more authenticity, and much more understanding, exists here, as in the commissioned murals. A different poem was asked of each artist. These are only some of them, and more are to be added to walls.

La Bohème, 13 Rue de Gonzague.


Voyelles, 11 Rue de l'église.

Ophélie, Rue Michelet/Longueville.

Le Bonheur du val, Avenue Charles Boutet.
