Les Murs à pêches is located in the heights of Montreuil and still represent 35
hectares of gardens, wastelands, partially occupied, inhabited or allocated to
associations that maintain them and defend them from commercial and real estate
interests. The diversity of its occupants and inhabitants makes the great
richness of this territory. The Fédération des Murs à pêches groups together 16
associations and collectives working on this territory. Some associations
occupy, thanks to twelve-year agreements, municipal plots for the most part. The
rest of the plots belong to the department, the region or the State, and some
are privately owned. Every year since 2000, it organizes the Festival des Murs à
pêches, in order to make known and defend this territory through arts and
cultures. Each association organizes its own events the rest of the time.
