Tunnel des Tuileries, Underground passage in 1st arrondissement, France
The Tunnel des Tuileries extends for 861 meters parallel to the Seine River, connecting the Concorde area to the Pont Neuf through a dedicated pedestrian pathway.
Initially constructed as part of Voie Georges-Pompidou in 1967, this tunnel served vehicle traffic before transforming into a pedestrian and cycling route in subsequent decades.
The tunnel walls display extensive art installations created by ten different artists, covering 2000 square meters with murals inspired by the Seine, Louvre, and Olympic themes.
Located near multiple metro stations and bicycle paths, the tunnel provides protection from weather conditions while offering direct access to major Paris landmarks.
Artists transformed the tunnel into a free public art gallery in 2022, creating murals up to 80 meters long using various street art techniques and colorful lighting systems.
