An open-air urban art circuit that is accessible year-round. The old mining town of Bessèges brings colour to its working-class past. Its walls inherited from the days of mining and industry are now a promising canvas for street artists with very diverse styles. A large loop or several smaller loops are possible for your a-la-carte visit in the streets of Bessèges.
