NATION

Situé à mi-chemin entre le 11e et le 12e arrondissement et délimité par le boulevard de Charonne et la rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine, le quartier Nation avec sa place demeure un point central de la ville et témoigne de l’artisanat parisien.

Considered one of the liveliest in the capital, the district also has some nooks and crannies with a bucolic air. There are many shops, bars and concert halls, as well as pretty little side streets at the bend of a street or under the porch of a building. The passage Lhomme, being the best known of the district, reveals itself as an attractive paved road bathed in vegetation. Recently refurbished and vegetated, it retains its historical heritage, erecting in its heart the sculptural work of Dalou “The Triumph of the Republic”.

A treasure trove of craftsmanship, you can admire the remains of old sawmills and workers’ workshops with wooded bay windows in the district. Today we admire the La Sorbonne-Nouvelle campus, a project signed by the architect Christian de Portzamparc.

Nation is a district that is renewing itself while retaining its historic charm, making it a popular place for Parisian city dwellers.
