Batignolles
To the north-east of Paris, forming the link between the more “bourgeois” Plaine-Monceau and the more “popular” Place de Clichy, is the Batignolles district.
Although in full mutation in its upper part, it is synonymous with a certain art of living. Right in the heart, its square, its church and its bucolic park set the scene. With its village spirit where everyone knows each other, its small traders, its covered market and its farmers’ market, it is very attractive for Parisian families.
Another charming asset is the City of Flowers. This secret and pedestrian passageway is a haven of peace lined with small houses whose happy owners are the envy!
On the site of the old railway lines between rue Cardinet and boulevards des Maréchaux, a major urban planning project is giving a whole new face to the district. It revolves around the Martin Luther King park which offers skate parks, rare plants, water points and large expanses on its 10 hectares. Dominated by the tall silhouette of the Tribunal de Grande Instance designed by Renzo Piano, the other residential and office buildings are the work of various architectural firms: Le Penhuel, Saison Menu, Sud Architectes, Biecher, Mad, BP Architecture, Bridge Workshop, etc.
More dynamic and ecological, this innovative urban planning project was very well received by local residents.
