Do I need to have any prior artistic skills to join?

Not at all! Our creative retreats in Lyon are designed for everyone from absolute beginners to seasoned hobbyists. Our professional artists guide you through every stage, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering advanced shading techniques. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created, regardless of your previous art experience. It’s all about the process and having a blast!

What materials are included in the retreat package?

We provide everything you need for a stress-free retreat. This includes high-quality spray paint in a huge range of colours, protective overalls, gloves, and masks. We also provide the canvases or designated wall space for your session. Just make sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of ‘artistic’ dust on, and we’ll handle the rest!

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard creative retreat workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of your final piece. If you’re looking for a more intensive full-day experience or a multi-day retreat across different Lyon districts, we can certainly customise a longer itinerary just for you and your group.

Is the workshop safe and are there health precautions?

Safety is our top priority. We use high-quality low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control, and we provide all necessary safety gear, including FFP2 masks and gloves. Our workshops usually take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially equipped indoor spaces. Our artists are trained to ensure a safe, clean, and professional environment so you can focus entirely on your creativity.

What happens if it rains on the day of our outdoor session?

Lyon can be a bit moody with the weather, but we’ve got it covered! We have several covered outdoor locations and indoor studios available. If the forecast looks particularly grim, we can easily move the retreat to one of our indoor partner venues. Thanks to our local network and backup artist system, we rarely have to cancel—we just move the party inside!

Can I book a retreat for a small private group?

Absolutely! While we love hosting groups for retreats, we can also arrange private 1-on-1 sessions or small family experiences. However, the price per person is more cost-effective for groups. For larger retreats like corporate escapes or big family unions, we can scale up with multiple artists to ensure everyone gets plenty of personal guidance and hands-on time with the paint.

How does the payment process work?

We make it easy and risk-free for you. There is no upfront payment required when you book your Lyon retreat. You can settle the payment after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. We accept various payment methods including bank transfers and major cards. We believe in our service so much that we want you to be happy first!

The experience

Why choose a graffiti retreat in the gastronomic capital of France? Because Lyon’s urban landscape is a living gallery, and you deserve a seat at the table! Here’s why our workshops stand out:

Expert guidance: Learn from real-world street artists who live and breathe the Lyon scene. 🎤
Total freedom: There are no mistakes in graffiti, only 'happy accidents' and new layers!
Epic locations: We pick spots with the best vibes, from industrial courtyards to panoramic viewpoints. 🏆

Step by step

The warm-up: We start with a relaxed meet-and-greet where your lead artist introduces you to the vibrant world of Lyonnais street art.
Concept sketching: Grab a marker and paper to doodle your ideas. We help you translate your vision into a graffiti-style blueprint.
Nozzle knowledge: Learn the difference between ‘skinny’ and ‘fat’ caps. We’ll show you how to control the pressure for different effects.
First lines: Head to the wall or canvas to practice basic strokes, circles, and those iconic Sharpie-style outlines.
Filling and fading: This is where the magic happens! Learn how to blend colours and create smooth gradients that pop.
The 'cut-back': Our artists teach you the professional secret of sharpening your lines by spraying the background colour over the edges.
Adding the details: Time for highlights, shadows, and those final 'shines' that make your piece look three-dimensional.
The photoshoot: Take some epic snaps of your group in front of your finished mural to remember your Lyon retreat forever.

Local culture

Lyon is often called the French capital of murals, and for good reason! While Paris has the fame, Lyon has the 'murs peints' — massive, stunning frescoes that cover entire apartment buildings. Our retreats often take place near the creative hub of Croix-Rousse, a district famous for its history of silk weaving and its modern-day bohemian spirit. We lean into this heritage, blending traditional Lyonnais 'art de vivre' with the raw, energetic pulse of modern street culture.

Fun Fact: Lyon is home to the 'Fresque des Lyonnais', a 1,200 square metre mural featuring 30 famous people from the city’s history. It’s like a giant, painted yearbook of Lyon! 🏛️

Pricing

Our creative retreat workshops in Lyon are designed to be accessible and fun for everyone. Prices typically range from €30 to €65 per person, depending on your group size and the specific workshop setup you choose.

Whether you're looking for a quick afternoon session or a deep-dive artistic weekend, we offer the best value in town with premium materials and expert guidance included.
