Butte Montmartre

Perched on its hill, Montmartre and its basilica are the highlights of the capital. It offers a panoramic view and with its village air it charms the hearts of Parisians and passing tourists.

t has in fact lost none of its atmosphere which was so popular with artists of the 19th and 20th centuries: Toulouse-Lautrec, Dalida, Picasso, Modigliani, Barbara, etc. Its steep streets and long staircases, its colorful facades around the Place du Tertre and its vineyards immortalize the memory of the district’s rural past.

In terms of architecture, Montmartre has a lot to offer: artists’ studios, mansions, villas with gardens, apartments with terraces. While some residents have been living in Montmartre for a long time and would not move for the world, the district also attracts nostalgics and lovers of the picturesque. Some streets hide real pearls, such as Villa Léandre or the passage at number 45 rue Lepic.

Rather than large retailers, the district can boast of having retained its small food shops and a wide choice of restaurants, bars and performance venues. Enough to perfect the postcard image!

Ternes

Located in the heart of the 17th arrondissement, the Ternes district seems oriented in all directions.

At the gates of Paris and not far from the Place de l’Etoile, it is a strategic and heterogeneous crossroads but also one of the most elegant areas of Paris with its many Haussmann buildings.

Both upscale and friendly, the streets are very lively, thanks in particular to the proximity of the markets, such as the flower market on Place des Ternes or the covered market on Rue Lebon. Many food shops, bistros and small restaurants share a clientele of regulars.

The Ternes district enjoys direct access to La Défense and the roads leading to Normandy. A stone’s throw from the Bois de Boulogne for lovers of long walks, local residents can also enjoy the Pereire promenade, an old railway line transformed into a flowered area including a magnificent rose garden. Or the nearby Parc Monceau!

It is a neighborhood where life is good, which has managed to maintain a good-natured atmosphere and which appeals to an active population of young couples, families and retirees.

Plaine-Monceau

Charming, cultural and vegetal, the Plaine-Monceau district presents itself as an ideal place to live located halfway between Batignolles and Ternes.

Marked by its graceful architecture, the Plaine-Monceau district is considered one of the most attractive in the city. You can admire unusual and colorful mansions, with extravagant styles, but also pretty little houses with facades decorated with brick and stone.

A former district of artists, Plaine-Monceau has many museums, delighting art lovers. We particularly appreciate the Jean-Jacques Henner museum which exhibits, in a very beautiful private mansion, the prolific work of the artist.

Also, its proximity to the enchanting Parc Monceau, offers its residents the opportunity for beautiful walks in the shade of the willows and to the sound of the stream.

Batignolles

To the north-east of Paris, forming the link between the more “bourgeois” Plaine-Monceau and the more “popular” Place de Clichy, is the Batignolles district.

Although in full mutation in its upper part, it is synonymous with a certain art of living. Right in the heart, its square, its church and its bucolic park set the scene. With its village spirit where everyone knows each other, its small traders, its covered market and its farmers’ market, it is very attractive for Parisian families.

Another charming asset is the City of Flowers. This secret and pedestrian passageway is a haven of peace lined with small houses whose happy owners are the envy!

On the site of the old railway lines between rue Cardinet and boulevards des Maréchaux, a major urban planning project is giving a whole new face to the district. It revolves around the Martin Luther King park which offers skate parks, rare plants, water points and large expanses on its 10 hectares. Dominated by the tall silhouette of the Tribunal de Grande Instance designed by Renzo Piano, the other residential and office buildings are the work of various architectural firms: Le Penhuel, Saison Menu, Sud Architectes, Biecher, Mad, BP Architecture, Bridge Workshop, etc.

More dynamic and ecological, this innovative urban planning project was very well received by local residents.

MUETTE-SUD

Located in the 16th arrondissement, the lively and family-friendly neighborhood of Muette-Sud stretches west from Porte de Passy to the right bank of the Seine.

A true cultural place, in the South-East has been the Maison de la Radio since 1963. Its grandiose circular architecture with its central tower 68 meters high, houses a thousand offices, sixty studios and a museum. In the North, the Ranelagh theater has been a must since 1894 with its French-style performance hall in sculpted oak. Another curiosity, the Wine Museum preserved in vaulted cellars from the 15th century bears witness to the richness and diversity of French heritage. Nestled on the hillsides of Passy, ​​the Maison de Balzac, a museum now dedicated to the artist, is the only one of the novelist’s Parisian residences that remains today.

In Muette-Sud, the population is made up of families who appreciate its quiet shopping streets but also the proximity of green spaces, such as L’île des Cygnes, which borders the district, on the edge of the Parisian crowd.

Cultural and family friendly.
