LARIBOISIÈRE
Located between boulevard de la Chapelle and rue de Paradis, the Lariboisière district is full of good gourmet addresses not to be missed.
This district, which owes its name to the eponymous hospital located nearby, is home to this sublime building, built in 1846 under the direction of the architect Martin-Pierre Gauthier. Its Chapel and its interior galleries create a worked and refined decor that is worth the detour. Another building to admire: the Saint-Vincent-de-Paul church designed by the architect Jacques-Ignace Hittorff in 1844. Its predominantly neoclassical style finds its inspiration in Greek temples and Roman basilicas.
Urban and lively, the district is punctuated with food shops and very good restaurants as well as places of cultural interest such as the Bouffe-du-Nord theatre, making it a perfect district for epicureans.
It is also adorned with a beautiful green setting, including the Aristide-Cavaillé-Coll square, ideal for pleasant walks among the jasmines in bloom. Formerly called “Vielle-Montagne”, it culminates on one of the highest hills of the capital.
