Vaugirard | Brassens
Located in the south-east of the 15th arrondissement, the Vaugirard-Brassens district hosts the largest street in Paris and the largest park in its arrondissement.
Placed on the old slaughterhouses of Vaugirard and not very touristy, the district hosts pretty dead ends with country airs and reserves hidden addresses, in a calm environment. The Villa Santos-Dumont created in 1926 by the architect Raphaël Paynot is probably one of the most beautiful neighborhood streets, with its houses and studio windows covered in greenery. Several artists have lived there, including the painter Fernand Léger, the Italian mosaicist Gatti and the sculptor Zadkine, a few meters from the former residence of Georges Brassens.
Also, the Georges Brassens park offers country walks around its garden of scents, its apiary and its Pinot Noir grape vines, whose vinification and bottling take place in the basement of the former town hall of Grenelle. Every Saturday and Sunday, the old Halle aux Chevaux has an old book market as well as many activities for children.
A rural area with an airy and residential living environment, very popular with families.
