Paris is well known for its numerous art museums, including the Louvre, the Musee d’Orsay, and the Centre Pompidou. Even in this small handful you can find different kinds of art - the Musee d’Orsay is known for its impressionism, the Centre Pompidou all about modern art, and the Louvre is home to many famous and historical pieces. Of course you should spend a good amount of time at these sites, but Paris is also home to other forms of creativity as well - and not just the kind in museums.
This weekend, I got off at the Belleville metro stop with a friend in search of a new area to explore. We ended up finding the Rue Denoyez, which is lined with tons of incredible street art! Graffiti is something that has always intrigued me, especially when there is so much of it in one place, like on Denoyez. It was all varied in purpose - some had a social message, others were portraits, some I didn’t understand at all - but they were all really intriguing. 
Paris isn’t as well known for its street art as cities like Berlin or London, but it has a fair amount to share! Here’s a link to where you can find street art in Paris: http://www.paris-streetart.com/
