FR On ne s'en lasse pas, mais certains la découvrent encore : la gare désaffectée de Châteauroux-les-Alpes a été transformée en oeuvre picturale !
Des graffeurs se sont en effet approprié la façade du bâtiment et en ont fait leur lieu d'expression, avec une gigantesque fresque représentant plusieurs personnages : un singe, une fillette sur une balançoire, ou encore un oiseau peintre... Une réhabilitation artistique réussie offrant une deuxième vie à cette ancienne gare.
EN We never tire of it, but some are still discovering it: the disused station of Châteauroux-les-Alpes has been transformed into a pictorial work!
Graffiti artists have indeed appropriated the facade of the building and made it their place of expression, with a gigantic fresco representing several characters: a monkey, a girl on a swing, or even a painter bird ... A successful artistic rehabilitation offering a second life to this old station.
