A district in flux since 2002, included in the Great Urban Renewal Project, the district has nevertheless managed to retain a warm atmosphere, far from the tourist bustle of the city center. There are many local shops, lively markets and pleasant green spaces, such as Square Antoine Blondin.

Saint-Blaise is known for its heterogeneous architecture, combining influences from the past and contemporary touches. Integrating the village of Charonne, the district has kept the charm of the old Parisian suburbs. The narrow, winding streets are lined with buildings with colorful facades, offering a bucolic charm. The remarkable Saint-Germain-de-Charonne church, listed as a historical monument, sits as the mother of the district.

A charming mix of tradition and modernity where life is good.

The district – one of the highest peaks in Paris – is outlined in the middle of its many shops, restaurants and cafes with a popular atmosphere, as well as its green squares conducive to strolling. It takes its name from the Chappe telegraph station which was once located there.

The architecture here is eclectic. There are small workers’ houses, artists’ studios transformed into lofts and old refurbished factories, alongside 1970s buildings. Quiet and urban, it attracts many families in search of a pleasant neighborhood life.

Authentic and popular

Privileged and family-friendly, Muette Nord is one of the most popular areas of the capital. Life is pleasant there with the best schools, opulent buildings and mansions, green spaces like the vast Ranelagh garden, but also local shops.

On the cultural side, we are delighted with the permanent collection and the temporary exhibitions of the imposing Musée de l’Homme in the neo-classical style, those of the National Maritime Museum, but also with the most intimate collections of the Musée Marmottan Monet in the he former château de la Muette and the Clémenceau museum in the latter’s apartment, dedicated to his life and work. A veritable institution of the district, the famous family brasserie La Rotonde sits at the corner of Chaussée de la Muette. Revamped in 2022 by the New York firm Roman and Williams, and winner of the National Design Award, the decor pays homage to the timeless elegance of Parisian brasseries. The district also hosts the town hall of the 16th arrondissement.

A peaceful neighborhood rich in discoveries

Lively and urban, Pasteur is a district in perpetual motion, animated by its many brasseries, restaurants and shops.

Along its vegetated boulevards, the district is constantly reinventing itself to win over new residents, such as with the complete transformation of the Pasteur museum, or the height gain from the Montparnasse tower culminating at 209 meters and offering the most beautiful panorama. all over Paris.
A must-see cultural venue in the district, the Bourdelle Museum, formerly the sculptor’s studio, offers the public exhibition spaces opening onto gardens adorned with the artist’s grandiose sculptures. We are intrigued by Villa M, a huge glass house with a hybrid concept around well-being and nature, the work of the Franco-Brazilian agency Triptyque Architecture, under the artistic direction of Philippe Starck.

A district in full swing, appreciated by these inhabitants for its places of proximity and centers of interest.
