This mural by Pascal Fournier is a street-art piece in Montreal, painted in 2013 on a wall in the alley at 7077, rue Christophe-Colomb. The alley lies in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie borough, a residential part of the city on the island of Montreal.
The work was produced under the city's Programme graffitis et murales, a program run for SODER, the Société de développement environnemental de Rosemont. It is one of the many murals that the program has brought to the streets of the borough, and it is recorded in the city's public mural register.
What to expect
- Type of visit: a short, informal stop on foot, best combined with a walk through the neighbourhood.
- Location: an alley, not a main street, so it suits visitors who enjoy wandering off the usual routes.
- Setting: the surrounding streets are residential, with the everyday character of a Montreal neighbourhood.
Planning your trip
Because the mural sits in a working alley, it is worth approaching with care and respect for residents. The city's mural page for this work, linked from the official Montreal murals catalogue, gives further details on the piece and its origins.
Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie is a good area for exploring Montreal's street art more broadly, since the borough has hosted a number of similar commissions. A visit here can easily be paired with other murals and local shops in the surrounding streets.
