GOBELINS

Familiar, commercial and with strong cultural accents, the Gobelins district is a true haven of peace in the heart of Paris.

A former industrial city, the district is still home to the incredible Manufacture Nationale des Gobelins, which has been making tapestries for French palaces for over four centuries. This world-famous institution is also home to the Mobilier National, built by Auguste Perret in 1934, where the greatest craftsmen collaborate with artists such as Fernand Léger, Alexandre Calder, Sonia Delaunay and the new guard of contemporary designers, giving birth to original woven works.

Not far away, on Boulevard Arago, lies the extraordinary secret garden of the Cité Fleurie. A former collection of artists’ studios built in the middle of lush vegetation at the end of the 19th century for the Universal Exhibition, this place conveys the soul of its illustrious residents, from Paul Gauguin to Amedeo Modigliani.

The Gobelins district is very pleasant to live in and offers many cultural spaces, local shops and green spaces to its residents. Its Haussmannian buildings stand side by side with small houses lining green and flowery alleys.
