Although it is not a favorite destination for tourists, it symbolizes a balanced daily life and a peaceful and airy living environment for families. A harmonious mix between wide avenues with large Haussmann or 70s buildings, quiet and residential streets, green spaces and livelier shopping areas.

The pretty Georges Brassens park offers country walks around its apiary and its vineyard, old book market on Saturdays and Sundays, as well as many activities for children. For a more street-art atmosphere, a section of the Petit Ceinture has been converted into a green promenade in the south of the district.

Convention also hosts pretty country-style cul-de-sacs. The Villa Santos-Dumont created in 1926 by the architect Raphaël Paynot is probably one of the most beautiful, with its houses and studio windows covered in greenery. Several artists have lived there, including the painter Fernand Léger, the Italian mosaicist Gatti and the sculptor Zadkine, a few meters from the former residence of Georges Brassens.
