MOUTON-DUVERNET
Urban and dynamic district of the 14th arrondissement, Mouton-Duvernet, also called Petit-Montrouge, has kept its charming air of an old village.
Formerly belonging to the commune of Montrouge, a town located behind the Porte d’Orléans, this village was integrated into Paris in 1860. Since then, the village spirit has never disappeared, people like to do their market there on Tuesdays and Fridays on Place Jacques Demy.
Rue Mouton-Duvernet, which lends its name to the district, is one of the main arteries that make it up.
Bordered by the squares of Aspirant-Dunand on one side and Ferdinand Brunot on the other, this street is a symbol of a green getaway in the heart of Paris. At the corner of rue Pierre Castagnou, you can observe the Darius Milhaud Conservatory, a building recently renovated by the architect Bruno Mader.
Lively and lively, rue Daguerre, another feature of this district, is overflowing with shops. Under her good-natured air, she leads us to Place Denfert-Rochereau, where a completely different atmosphere reigns, with her heroic Lion of Belfort by Auguste Bartholdi.
This square, which once marked the entrance to the capital, is now one of the most important crossroads in Paris.
