Street Art Quai Kathrine Switzer

The Quai Kathrine Switzer in Pantin functions as a designated legal wall for street art. This stretch along the water attracts urban artists who use its surfaces to display ever-changing murals and tags. The site is named in honor of Kathrine Switzer, who became known worldwide after the nineteen sixty-seven Boston Marathon. During that race, she became the first woman to officially compete in the event, despite a race official attempting to physically pull her from the course.
