Carré d’Or

This middle-class neighborhood in Saint-Giniez is popular with the upper classes and is ideally located between the Prado and Rue Paradis, where you can find quality food shops.

Quiet and pleasant, this residential area is essentially composed of private mansions and charming villas.

In its center unfolds the superb Villa Bagatelle, inspired by the English picturesque style of the XVIIIth century and its park. Today this villa houses the town hall of the 6ème and 8ème arrondissements, but it also hosts exhibitions and events: art, history, science and open-air concerts in the middle of the greenery. The garden and its large flowered alleys are popular places for families and walkers.

In the middle of the eclectic mansions stands the Villa Lotus designed by the architect Bentz in 1913, this villa with its cubic volume stands out in this bourgeois landscape.
