The Wall for Peace - Clara Halter/Jean-Michel Wilmotte


The Wall for Peace is freely inspired by the Wailing Wall of Jerusalem. The glass and metal monument that the French call Le mur de la paix, has “peace” written in 32 languages and 18 alphabets.  Visitors can put their messages of peace in the chinks of the Wall that are planned for this purpose.

The Wall for Peace is a work conceived by the artist Clara Halter and spatially installed by the architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte.

The Wall for Peace is erected in Paris, on the Champs de Mars, at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. It was inaugurated on March 30, 2000 by the President of the French Republic.
