LA VILLETTE
Formerly the village of La Villette, this neighborhood of new cultural and artistic horizons is located in the north of the 19th arrondissement.
Halfway between the Paris of yesterday and today, La Villette is a district in full renewal. In just a few years, it has become a dynamic and philanthropic hub, combining contemporary architecture, leisure, culture and nature to become one of Paris’s must-see attractions.
Urban and cultural, the Parc de la Villette is one of the largest in the capital. In fine weather, its lawns play host to prestigious open-air events such as the Jazz and Film Festivals, and throughout the year, its museums and leisure facilities are open to the public. We particularly appreciate the Cité de la Musique and the Philharmonie de Paris, with its fabulous, innovative building designed by Jean Nouvel.
