Basketball's social media sensation: Pigalle Duperre is a work of art in Paris
Briefly

Pigalle Duperre, located in the vibrant Pigalle district of Paris, has transformed from an unused car park into a colorful basketball court and community hub since its opening in 2009. Curated by Stephane Ashpool and creatively branded by Pigalle and Ill-Studio, it features recycled rubber court patterns that frequently change, appealing to both basketball fans and tourists alike. The court's allure has earned it significant online popularity and positive reviews, making it a prominent attraction in Paris, highlighting urban regeneration and creative use of space.
"Pigalle Duperre has become a must-stop for visitors, regardless of if they care for basketball. Since opening in 2009, it has had five iterations of its court."
