Murals in Cannes
Cannes runs on seasons and events. The Croisette hotels and suites, the rue d’Antibes boutiques and the flats rented out during festivals all look to stand out in a market where image decides. Work is often done between seasons, outside festival periods. A photo of the wall and its measurements are all it takes to begin: Giulia draws the sketch on it, then comes to paint on site.
In Cannes, the subjects are right there: the bay and the Lérins islands, the Suquet and its bell tower, the palm trees of the Croisette, the white facades of the palace hotels, the mimosa of the Tanneron. As line drawings they fall under the 150 € per sqm rate; fully painted, with colour and shading, from 250 €.
What Giulia brings to Cannes. Giulia is a painter, trained at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan. She exhibits her paintings in art galleries and also paints on walls. She paints with a brush, in odourless acrylic indoors and quartz paint outdoors, and Corriere della Sera, Domus and Sky Arte have covered her work. The wall is her favourite canvas because it truly becomes part of a place, a unique work made to tell your story.
Giulia also paints live at weddings: she sets up her easel during the cocktail hour and the painting stays with the couple. From 950 €, see live wedding painting on the French Riviera.
Giulia also paints live in Cannes. For a seaside wedding, a summer evening or a birthday, she sets up her easel and the painting takes shape in front of your guests, signed and taken home the same evening. From 950 € for a wedding, from 400 € for a performance. See live painting →
Cannes through welcome and rhythm
Here, a mural often enters spaces shaped by people arriving, moving through, pausing, and leaving again.
Houses and villas
Children’s rooms, kitchens, hallways, entrances, stairwells and ceilings. Example: a flat bedroom wall of 8 sqm fully painted, around 2 000 €.
Hotels, restaurants and shops
Restaurants, cafes, shops, salons, showrooms, windows and commercial facades. A hand-painted mural belongs to this place alone, and it is what people remember about it. Example: a hotel suite wall of 12 sqm in trompe-l’oeil, around 4 200 €.
Facades and exterior walls
Sea air attacks facades. A salt-blocking primer and a UV-resistant finish keep the colours bright in sun and sea air. For a facade visible from the street, the owner’s or the building association’s approval is usually enough, plus a notice to the town hall in a protected zone. From 150 € per sqm, plus scaffolding if needed.
Your questions, before commissioning
A photo of the wall, its approximate dimensions and the idea you have in mind are enough to receive a quote.
How much does a mural cost in Cannes?
Giulia Dal Bon’s price is per square metre: 150 € for a line drawing or a simple motif, 250 € for a fully painted subject, 350 € for trompe-l’oeil or a ceiling. A small mural in a bedroom costs less than a facade that needs preparation and scaffolding. The quote is free: see all prices.
How does it work to have a wall painted in Cannes?
Write to Giulia Dal Bon on WhatsApp or by email, even if the idea is still vague: she replies within 48 hours. Send her a photo of the wall to be painted, she draws a sketch straight onto your photo, you tell her what you think, and the first two sketches are free. Once the sketch is approved, she sends you the quote, from 150 € per sqm in Cannes, and sets the date with you. She then comes and paints the mural at your place in Cannes, by brush, and the place stays open while she works.
What does a mural quote in Cannes cover?
Giulia Dal Bon’s price per square metre includes the paint and materials, the first two sketches, corrections during the work and the protective varnish as a finish. Added to the quote, when needed, are the scaffolding for a facade and travel costs, agreed together. The quote is free and arrives within 48 hours; a deposit of about 100 € for materials confirms the date, and the balance is settled at the end.
Can I see the design before saying yes?
Yes. Before any agreement, Giulia shows you the sketch on a photo of your wall, with a detailed price. Two free sketches are proposed to you before you confirm, and she adjusts them with you.
What kind of mural works well in Cannes?
In Cannes, bold, photogenic designs, because these places are photographed constantly during festivals. Everything is painted with a brush, in odourless acrylic.
Does it damage the wall?
The wall stays intact. Acrylic bonds to a painted or plastered wall, which keeps its finish and needs only a light preparation. And if you change your mind in ten years, a roller of paint covers it.
Can an old painted decor be restored in Cannes?
Yes. In the villas of La Californie and Le Suquet and the hotels of the Croisette, painted ceilings and salon friezes have often been darkened by a century of heating and smoke. Giulia Dal Bon, trained at the Brera Academy where she studied restoration, comes to see it, runs a test on a sample area and shows you the result before going further. The rate follows that of the murals; the condition of the wall and the height are added to the quote. The page restore a mural or a painted decor sets out the method. Free quote within 48 hours.
Can a view of Cannes be painted on a wall?
Yes, and the city lends itself to it. The bay and the Lérins islands opposite, the roofs of Le Suquet and its bell tower, the palms of the Croisette and the white facades of the grand hotels. Giulia Dal Bon draws them, then paints them, by hand. The line alone falls under 150 € per sqm, the painted version under 250 €. Free quote within 48 hours.
What subject works well for a mural in Cannes?
The most requested subjects: floral and botanical work for bedrooms and living rooms, landscapes for living spaces and terraces, trompe l’oeil for facades and ceilings. Everything is drawn to measure: Giulia offers two free sketches from your idea, and you refine it together until the subject is yours.
What is the difference between a hand-painted mural and spray-painted graffiti?
They are two different crafts. A graffiti artist works with spray cans, with a fast gesture and a graphic finish. A brush-painted mural is built layer by layer, which allows gradients, fine detail and trompe l’oeil: it is a painting made directly on the wall. Indoors, Giulia uses odourless acrylic. And while she paints, people take the time to watch: a brush at work is a show in itself. The choice depends on the finish you are after.
What do you call an artist who paints on walls?
A mural artist, a muralist, a wall artist or a decorative painter, and the art itself is called mural painting or wall art. Some come from graffiti and work with spray cans; Giulia Dal Bon comes from painting: trained at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, she exhibits her paintings in art galleries and paints commissioned murals with a brush. To have one painted, send her a photo of your wall: free quote within 48 hours.
Does a mural hold up outdoors in Cannes?
Yes, with surface preparation and paints made for outdoor use. The seafront takes salt and strong sun. On the Croisette an exterior mural needs light-stable pigments.
Do I need permission to paint a facade in Cannes?
An interior wall can be painted freely. For a facade visible from the street, you usually need the owner’s or the building association’s approval, and a notice to the town hall if the building is in a protected area. Giulia explains the process before starting.
How long does it take to paint a mural?
It depends on the surface, the level of detail and how easy the wall is to reach. Giulia gives the timing with the quote, within 48 hours, and gives plenty of notice if the schedule moves. The place keeps running while she works: the acrylic is odourless.
How long does a mural last?
Painted in acrylic by Giulia Dal Bon, a mural lasts a lifetime indoors: the paint becomes part of the plaster and lives as long as the wall. Outdoors, quartz paint is made for facades, and an anti-salt or anti-pollution varnish extends it further. And if one day you want a change, it can be painted over like any wall paint.
Can an old painted decoration be restored in Cannes?
Yes. In the villas of La Californie and Le Suquet and the hotels of the Croisette, painted ceilings and drawing-room friezes have been darkened by a century of heating and smoke. A painter trained at Brera, where she studied restoration, Giulia Dal Bon travels out, tries a test patch and shows you the result before the rest. The rate is the mural rate, with the surface and the height in the quote. The page about restoring a mural or a painted decoration describes how it goes. Free quote within 48 hours.

Where Giulia works in Cannes
In Cannes, for a private client, in a house, a villa, a second home or a flat, she paints on an interior wall : the living room, the children’s bedroom and the bedroom. She paints the kitchen, the bathroom, the entrance, the hallway and the stairwell just as readily. The ceiling is painted too: that is the €350 per sqm band, with trompe-l’oeil. Outdoors, she uses quartz paint on the exterior facade and the garden wall, with a protective varnish to finish. A mobile panel is painted separately, and moves with you.
In a restaurant, a pizzeria, a café or a bar in Cannes, she paints the dining-room wall, and the tables stay laid. For a boutique and a shop, she paints the shop window and the shutter, a front you recognise from down the street. In a hotel and a B&B, she paints the lobbies, the corridors and the rooms. For a hair salon, a spa and a gym, she paints the cabin, changing-room and reception walls. In a medical practice, a waiting room and a nursery, she paints the waiting room and the corridor leading to it. In an office and a showroom, she paints the wall you see on the way in, and the one at the far end. A cellar is painted too, right down its stairs.
In Cannes, Giulia paints the walls of La Croisette, Le Suquet, La Californie and Palm Beach. A photo of the wall and its dimensions are enough to start: Giulia draws the sketch straight onto it.
Possible subjects in Cannes: the bay and the Lérins islands, the Suquet and its bell tower, the palm trees of the Croisette, the white facades of the palace hotels, the mimosa of the Tanneron. And always the trompe-l’oeil window, the botanical motif and the painted sky on a ceiling.
A mural is also called a wall mural, an artistic painting on a wall, a wall decoration. People say mural decoration, decorative painting, trompe-l’oeil, hand-painted wall, drawing on a wall, or a painting made directly on the wall: in every case someone paints the wall by hand, layer after layer. In Cannes, the craft is called mural artist, muralist, wall artist or decorative painter, and it is Giulia Dal Bon’s.
Cannes runs on seasons and events: Croisette hotels and suites, rue d’Antibes boutiques, flats rented out during festivals and conferences.
Giulia also travels to Le Cannet, Mandelieu-la-Napoule and Théoule-sur-Mer.
