SAINTE-AVOYE

Between Beaubourg and the rue des Archives, the charming Sainte-Avoye district of the 3rd arrondissement of Paris offers a vibrant setting in the heart of the right bank.

Sainte-Avoye, a veritable sanctuary for artists and art dealers, is home to a large number of galleries such as Marian Goodman and Templon. In this colorful and artistic district, you will be surprised by all kinds of works of art. During a walk, you can stroll through the splendid alleys of the Jardin d’Anne Frank or discover the flowery and green passage of Ancre-Royale, still unknown to the general public. In architecture, the characterful flats with exposed beams are extremely popular, particularly for their privileged location in the historic heart of Paris. The cultural, touristic and commercial appeal of this district offers a light, lively and attractive atmosphere for the inhabitants.

It is quite natural that ARCHIK has set up its Parisian offices on rue de Montmorency, surrounded by galleries, food shops and brasseries. A house where we would be happy to welcome you for a coffee!

ENFANTS-ROUGES

Between the Place de la République and the Rue des Archives is the friendly neighborhood of Enfants-Rouges.

Crossed by the rue de Bretagne, this former Temple district has dozens of concept stores and food shops in an old Parisian decor.  Passers-by will find happiness in the designer boutiques, thrift shops and cultural spaces that enliven the neighborhood.

Among the places not to be missed is the Marché des Enfants-Rouges, considered the oldest covered market in Paris. It offers dishes with international flavors in a light and family atmosphere. On Sundays, we also like to meet with friends for a tasty brunch.

The Carreau du Temple is also an unmissable address. Rehabilitated by the architect Jean-François Milou, its impressive metal structure is revealed against a monochrome and luminous oak wood background. A true place of life and multidisciplinary experiments, this place welcomes and hosts artists and creators of all kinds, highlighting the intellectual and aesthetic contemporary trends.

SAINT-MANDÉ

Ideally located between the 12th arrondissement and the Bois de Vincennes, Saint-Mandé offers a living environment with a village spirit. Also called the Neuilly-Sur-Seine of eastern Paris.

Third smallest town in the Ile-de-France region, Saint-Mandé has a country feel five minutes from Paris. Its proximity to the Bois de Vincennes and its direct access to Lake Daumesnil allows it, while being in the city, to have a peaceful spirit where you can enjoy beautiful walks along the water.

The architecture composed of bourgeois buildings, old residences and mansions gives a particular charm to this former district of the kings of France, which has never ceased to welcome many personalities such as Victor Hugo, Alfred Grévin or even Georges Courteline.
The districts of Tourelle-Béguin or Notre-Dame-Saint-Michel de Picpus are particularly popular for their calm and secure atmospheres.

The shops are dynamic and there are very good restaurants in the four corners of the district. In terms of culture, the city regularly offers original exhibitions and numerous events. The jazz-classical festival, which brings together artists of national and international renown, has become a must for music lovers.

NEUILLY-SUR-SEINE

Ideally located in the west of Paris, Neuilly-sur-Seine is the chic and green Parisian suburb by excellence.

Located on the edge of the 16th arrondissement,
Neuilly-sur-Seine is a wealthy suburb, popular with families. Ideally linked to the heart of the capital by line 1, the La Défense business district can be seen in the background. It also has excellent secondary schools and benefits from the greenery of the Bois de Boulogne.

Considered one of the lungs of the capital, the Bois de Boulogne was once the hunting ground of the kings of France. It has become one of the largest places of relaxation for parisians and includes the Parc de Bagatelle and the Jardin d’Acclimatation. Pedestrian walkways, bridle paths and bicycle routes wander through the wild and diverse fauna and flora.

Neuilly-sur-Seine is also home to the prestigious Louis Vuitton Foundation. Its building, designed by Frank Gehry, reflects a unique, creative and innovative architecture that has become emblematic of the 21st century. Committed to art, culture and heritage, it offers numerous temporary exhibitions of modern and contemporary art, presentations of works from the collection, artist commissions and multidisciplinary events.
