Lined with modern buildings, small houses on the hillside adorned with Virginia creeper and old rehabilitated workshops, the district offers a mixed urban landscape with a varied architectural style.

Annexed to the city of Paris in the 1860s, the Belleville district is known for having welcomed a working-class population that marked its urban fabric. The Cité Rouge, built in 1929, fully invests the Art Deco style with its buildings with canted sides, their bow windows and their facades punctuated by bricks in different shades of red.

At the end of the Villa Marcel Lods impasse are the former Odoul warehouses, designed by the architects and urban planners Marcel Lods and Eugène Beaudoin.

A modern masterpiece designed by the Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer, the headquarters of the French Communist Party has been listed as a historical monument since 2007. It features retro futuristic architecture with undulating and fully glazed facades.

Artistic life is very active in the Cité-Rouge-Belleville district, and its atypical side contributes to its charm.

The Père Lachaise district takes on a country look with its pedestrian alleys and small pavilions. It is known as the home of the most famous cemetery in Paris. Perched on a hill of nearly 44 hectares, the Père Lachaise cemetery offers the possibility of a beautiful stroll in an incomparable, romantic and bucolic atmosphere. Stroll along the flowered alleys where many personalities are buried, and enjoy the view of all Paris while sitting under the shelter of a flowering tree.

The streets around the cemetery offer a rural landscape in the middle of Paris. Walk along Rue Stendhal until you come upon the Church of Saint-Germain de Charonne, a historic monument of Romanesque architecture and the only church in Paris to have retained its own cemetery. Around the very lively Rue de Bagnolet, you will find a number of pretty pedestrian streets, where you will find secret addresses that you must discover.

The Parc Montsouris, one of the largest green spaces in the capital, has become a favourite place to relax for its residents. They love to stroll through its sublime English-style gardens, to meet on the banks of its lake, or to wander among its thousands of trees that change with the seasons.

Around the park, the cobbled streets once attracted artists such as Braque, Seurat, Lurçat and Soutine. At 53 avenue Reille, Le Corbusier also left his mark by building the villa-atelier Ozenfant, built in 1923 opposite the Montsouris reservoir, a cathedral of underground water cut into the rock. On Rue Nansouty, André Lurçat’s Villa Guggenbühl, a symbol of modern architecture, whose play of vertical and horizontal lines impresses with its lightness and rigour, is unveiled. On the other side of Boulevard Jourdan, the Cité Internationale Universitaire houses students from all over the world and regularly offers activities to Parisians.

An unchanging setting and the nerve centre of the district, the Place des Abbesses delights lovers of a postcard Paris and bohemian chic life.  Facing its ancient carousel and Wallace fountain, the square is also home to the deepest metro station in Paris, known for its ornate mouth, an artwork by Hector Guimard. This Art Nouveau aedicule is one of the last three of its kind in Paris. It used to stand in front of the Hôtel de Ville and was only moved to the Abbesses station in 1974.

The Saint-Jean de Montmartre church, inaugurated in 1904 and classified as a historic monument in 1966, was the first to be built in reinforced concrete. Covered with red bricks and decorated with enamelled sandstone pastilles, it offers an original architecture mixing Byzantine and Art Nouveau styles.

Although the big fashion names have joined the district, you can still find old-fashioned shops, artists’ studios, cafés, restaurants, and small businesses in Abbesses, where both residents and visitors meet cheerfully. An authentic and lively atmosphere, unique.
