PORTE D’ORLÉANS
Lively and urban district of the 14th arrondissement, Porte d'Orléans is located on the border of the city of Montrouge.
The Porte d’Orléans is today one of the main gates of the city, making the district an axis of great importance. Crossed in part by the Boulevard des Maréchaux, it benefits from easy and quick access to the four corners of the capital. Central, the place of August 25, 1944 shelters the monument-memorial Philippe Leclerc of Hautecloque, work of the architect Raymond Subes and the sculptor Raymond Martin. The work was subsequently redesigned by the architect Sylvain Dubuisson on behalf of the City of Paris in 1997.
Area hit by military servitude, the Porte d’Orléans between the wars saw the construction of Habitations Bon Marché dressed in ocher bricks and white cement emphasizing the games of volumes, the bow windows and the workshops of artists. Set back from the Parisian hustle and bustle, there are some charming corners such as the Village of Orléans. This old subdivision of small houses, with cobbled streets and gracious squares, seduces with its provincial and picturesque atmosphere. Commercial and residential, the district revolves around large avenues.
Porte d’Orléans is a lively and urban district offering many local places to its residents.
