MAIRIE

Located in the very chic 8th arrondissement, the Mairie district is distinguished by its bourgeois and family atmosphere.

Crossed by the famous boulevards Malesherbes and Haussmann, the Mairie district is surrounded by numerous green spaces and is particularly popular with families. There are excellent schools such as the Lycée Chaptal or Fénelon, as well as fine food shops and grocery shops.

The town hall of the 8th arrondissement, also called “Hôtel Cali”
in homage to its former owner, the industrialist
Jean-François Cali, is an old private mansion listed as a Historic Monument. Completed in 1865, its interior still features the magnificent sculpted decorations of Pierre-Édouard Charrier, who also worked for the Louvre Palace.

The Marcel Pagnol square offers residents a little green space, with its pretty fountain with flowering basins and the bronze statue of the poet Paul Déroulède built by the sculptor Landowski. In the background is the imposing Saint-Augustin church, whose originality lies in its eclectic style, inspired by Roman and Byzantine art, as well as in its majestic dome.
