Exact location of new Banksy artwork revealed
This is the spot in the France's second city Marseille, where the first new artwork of 2025 by Bristol street artist Banksy has been painted. The spot in Marseille is a striking one - close to the Mediterranean waters, and Marseille's Old Port, on a road that runs along the bottom of a cliff and through an open-sided tunnel. The location is the tunnel section of Rue Felix Fregier, a back street in the Saint Lambert part of the city, just south of the port.

Banksy continued the shadow to paint a lighthouse on the wall beyond, captioned with the words: "I want to be what you saw in me". Bristol Live first revealed the location as Marseille yesterday (Thursday, May 29) just after Banksy posted a photo of his work on his Instagram account, but the precise spot in the French port city was not clear. Locals in Marseille have contacted Bristol Live to reveal the exact location as the tunnel - which is already understood to have seen hundreds of visitors this morning, Friday, as word spread of the location.
