Street Art Alexandra David Néel

You are approaching a forty-meter-long mural located on the Coulée Verte René-Dumont near the boulevard Soult. This vibrant street art piece pays tribute to Alexandra David-Néel, a remarkable French explorer who became the first woman from the West to enter the forbidden city of Lhasa in Tibet in 1924. She achieved this by traveling in disguise through the harsh Himalayan winter, often posing as a beggar to avoid detection.
