Murals in Vincennes
Vincennes gathers its streets between the castle keep and the woods: brick and millstone buildings, shops in the centre, small garden houses in the quiet streets. Giulia Dal Bon paints a living-room wall, a bedroom ceiling, the entrance hall of a building or the back wall of a restaurant on rue du Midi, in colours chosen for the room.
From 1914 to 1924, Vincennes built the church of Saint-Louis in reinforced concrete, to the designs of Jacques Droz and Joseph Marrast, and handed it to painters: Henri Marret painted the stations of the cross in true fresco, on fresh plaster, and Maurice Denis painted the Beatitudes and the Glorification of Saint Louis at the end of the apse. The church was consecrated on 9 November 1924.
The Saint-Louis site brought fresco back into a brand-new building. Giulia Dal Bon paints today in odourless acrylic, with the same idea: a scheme made for that wall, in Vincennes, and for the life of the room.
In Vincennes, the brick and millstone buildings have tiled entrance halls and narrow stairwells, where a painted scheme is discovered on the way up; the flats have square rooms and three-metre ceilings, which take a subject painted across a whole wall. Towards Saint-Mandé, the houses in the quiet streets keep small gardens and boundary walls, good for a landscape painted outdoors. Around cours Marigny the shops open onto a planted square, and the painting is visible from the benches.
The restaurants on rue du Midi and the shops on rue de Fontenay, in Vincennes, have long rooms and a far wall that calls for an image. Giulia Dal Bon also paints consulting rooms, nurseries and waiting rooms, where the wall opposite fills the time spent waiting. The subjects come from the woods: the lake and its boats, the rides, the trees at the water's edge; or from the castle, with its keep and its chapel.
The subjects come from the city itself: the keep and the towers of the castle, the Sainte-Chapelle, Lake Daumesnil and its boats, the rides in the woods, the millstone facades, a botanical motif for a bedroom
.What Giulia brings to Vincennes. 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. Corriere della Sera, Domus and Sky Arte have covered her work, and her mural of more than twenty metres dedicated to Gaber and Jannacci stands in Milan. 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 in Vincennes. For a wedding, a concert, a festival or a company evening, 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 900 € for a company evening, from 400 € for a performance at a concert. For a wedding, see live wedding painting in the Paris region.

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 Vincennes?
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 Vincennes?
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 Vincennes, and sets the date with you. She then comes and paints the mural at your place in Vincennes, by brush, and the place stays open while she works.
What does a mural quote in Vincennes 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 Vincennes?
The apartments of Vincennes call for more than a small motif: a mural along a whole living-room wall, a sky on the ceiling, a false window on a blind wall, a leafy scheme in a child’s bedroom. 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 a view of Vincennes be painted on a wall?
Yes, and it holds up well on a large wall. The keep and the towers of the castle, the Sainte-Chapelle, Lake Daumesnil and its boats, the rides in the woods, the millstone facades. Giulia Dal Bon paints it with a brush, on site. The price follows the technique: 150 € per sqm as a line drawing, 250 € for a fully painted view. Free quote within 48 hours.
What subject works well for a mural in Vincennes?
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. If you are still choosing the subject of your mural in Vincennes, the guide What subject to choose for a mural reviews the options room by room.
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 Vincennes?
Yes. On a small garden wall, a courtyard wall or a gable in Vincennes, Giulia Dal Bon prepares the surface, waits for a dry wall and mild weather, then paints in quartz paint, made for facades. On a busy street, anti-pollution varnish can be added.
Do I need permission to paint a facade in Vincennes?
For an indoor wall you are free. For a facade visible from the street, you need the agreement of the owner or the co-owners, and a prior declaration at the Vincennes town hall: the area around the castle is protected. Giulia explains the steps before she starts.
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?
An acrylic 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. In Vincennes, on a façade exposed to traffic, Giulia can also propose an anti-pollution paint, which turns part of the nitrogen oxides under daylight. The option is priced in the quote.
Can an old painted scheme be restored in Vincennes?
Yes. Giulia Dal Bon studied restoration at the Brera Academy, and Vincennes offers the example with Saint-Louis, whose frescoes have been the subject of restoration campaigns since their centenary. On a private scheme she cleans, consolidates and repaints only what is missing, after a test on a sample area.

Where Giulia works in Vincennes
In Vincennes, for a private client, in a house, a villa, a second home or a flat, Giulia paints on an interior wall : the living room, the children’s bedroom and the bedroom. The same work applies to the kitchen, the bathroom, the entrance, the hallway and the stairwell. 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. She also paints on a mobile panel, to carry the painting elsewhere.
In a restaurant, a pizzeria, a café or a bar in Vincennes, the room stays open while she paints: the acrylic is odourless. For a boutique and a shop, she paints the window, the shutter and the back wall. In a hotel and a B&B, she paints the lobbies, the corridors and the rooms. In a hair salon, a spa and a gym, she paints the treatment-room walls and the reception area. In a medical practice, a waiting room and a nursery, she paints the waiting room and the corridor leading to it. For an office and a showroom, she paints reception, the corridor and the meeting room. A vaulted cellar takes the same paint, right up to the ceiling.
From the centre around the town hall to the Château district, from cours Marigny to the Bois de Vincennes, Giulia paints all over Vincennes.
Possible subjects in Vincennes: the keep and the towers of the castle, the Sainte-Chapelle, Lake Daumesnil and its boats, the rides in the woods, the millstone facades, a botanical motif for a bedroom.
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 Vincennes, the craft is called mural artist, muralist, wall artist or decorative painter, and it is Giulia Dal Bon’s.
Vincennes lies between the castle and the woods: brick and millstone buildings, shops in the centre and small garden houses.
Giulia also travels to Saint-Mandé, Fontenay-sous-Bois, Montreuil, Nogent-sur-Marne, Charenton-le-Pont, Joinville-le-Pont, Saint-Maurice and Rosny-sous-Bois.
