Daumesnil
Located in the heart of the 12th arrondissement, Daumesnil is a peaceful, family-friendly neighbourhood with large green spaces and small shops.
Crossed from east to west by the Avenue Daumesnil, from which it takes its name, this district of the 12th arrondissement is undergoing a complete renewal. Gaining in reputation, it welcomes in its streets a multitude of small boutiques and food shops, giving rise to some notorious addresses. Among them, the rue du Rendez-Vous, known for its fresh and local produce shops.
There are many places of interest such as the prestigious Ecole Boulle and the National Museum of the History of Immigration in the Palais de la Porte-Dorée. Representative of the Art Deco style, this monument with its magnificent gates designed by Jean Prouvé, features rhythmic and monumental sculptures by Alfred Auguste on its façade.
Located a stone’s throw from the Bois de Vincennes, the district also offers lovers of green spaces the possibility of escaping for a few moments to the banks of Lake Daumesnil and taking advantage of this immensity of greenery and its many activities.
