PLAISANCE

Located between Gare Montparnasse and Parc Montsouris, the Plaisance district retains its formerly suburban air.

A former agricultural hamlet, the Plaisance district became the favorite place of sculptors, engravers and all kinds of artists in the early 1900s. Populated with individual houses with interior courtyards that have become small workshops, the streets of the district are real places to stroll.

Not far from Place Victor and Hélène Basch, Impasse du Moulin Vert presents itself as the typical passage of the district with authentic charm. Place de Seoul, Notre-Dame-du-Travail church, rue des Thermopyles or the villa of Alésia are just as many curiosities that are worth the detour. The backbone of the district, rue Raymond is the shopping street of Plaisance. Food shops and tasty stalls punctuate the district to the delight of its residents.

The district of Plaisance has retained an incomparable charm and offers to the curious walker beautiful discoveries.

agnieszka.opalinska@archik.fr

Graduated in psychology and trained in coaching, Agnieszka has been working for over 15 years in the Warsaw real estate market, first in an agency and then in promotion. In 2008 she decided to open her own agency, focusing on selected properties and quality service.

Because of her Polish roots, Agnieszka is fascinated by socialist realist architecture for its monumental dimension and dignity; but her iconic architectural trend remains modernism, especially when applied to public buildings and private villas. Agnieszka is also passionate about interior design, cooking, jazz and nature. She is inspired by her encounters and everyday life: a shop window she rides past on her bike, the unexpected colours of the tiles in a hotel bathroom, the light coming through a roof window… In terms of materials, she loves wood, synonymous with warmth and conviviality.

Arriving in Paris in 2014, she discovered the profession of property hunter. Through this, she quickly began a collaboration with ARCHIK, sharing the same taste and values. ARCHIK combines everything that is dear to her heart: interiors with a singular style, a keen sense of architecture and design, and finally a unique approach towards clients with a particular attention to their needs. It was therefore only natural that she joined the growing team.

It is now at ARCHIK and in Paris that she puts her taste for beauty and her listening skills at the service of people who wish to find or put up for sale properties with a unique character, and benefit from personalised support.

BELLEVILLE

Located in the northeast of the capital, Belleville is a popular, colorful and friendly district, shaped by artists and musicians, a real hotspot of urban culture.

Former commune attached to Paris in 1860, Belleville has a strong artistic and working-class past and was built on a hill, which makes it a resolutely picturesque district. Another face of the capital can be discovered in this area with pop and joyful colors, known throughout Europe for its street art. Belleville offers a walk off the beaten track where modern buildings, small villages and townhouses rub shoulders. In rue Rébéval is an industrial building from the 1920s, typical of the Art Deco movement, whose facade with rounded volumes is colored with orange bricks. The district is also known for its hilly park, from which you can admire Paris from a panoramic angle. Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful views of the capital.

In Belleville everyone is there: artists, trendy youth, young executives and tourists, all looking for a lively district full of diversity.

JOURDAIN

A small neighborhood nestled on the heights of Belleville between the 19th and 20th arrondissements, Jourdain stands out as a quiet and urban corner with the appearance of a village.

Lively and lively, Jourdain is a neighborhood where life is good. We particularly like its artistic abundance and its bubbling associative life, both at the origin of many events. Its streets are home to the neo-Gothic church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Belleville, as well as the Plateau, a 600 m2 exhibition space dedicated to contemporary art. The food shops rub shoulders with decoration boutiques, cafés and new trendy restaurants. There are also magnificent tree-lined streets sheltering Haussmannian buildings and generously flowered interior courtyards. Against a background of accelerated gentrification, this former working-class district is nowadays very trendy and popular. It attracts many families in search of authenticity and conviviality.

A real secret gem!

LA CHAPELLE

Located between Barbès and Flanders, the district of La Chapelle continues to live through its history.

Former village of the same name, this district was a place of passage for merchants, explaining the commercial soul that inhabits it today. Thus marked by its past, the district comes alive around the Saint-Denys Church, the Olive market and its small Square de la Madone.

There are also innovative places like the Halle Pujol. Designed as an ecological architecture, this former SNCF warehouse welcomes entrepreneurs and professional events within its surprising and fully modular building. A true example of modernity, this place breathes new life into the neighborhood.

Popular and lively.

PORTE D’ORLÉANS

Lively and urban district of the 14th arrondissement, Porte d'Orléans is located on the border of the city of Montrouge.

The Porte d’Orléans is today one of the main gates of the city, making the district an axis of great importance. Crossed in part by the Boulevard des Maréchaux, it benefits from easy and quick access to the four corners of the capital. Central, the place of August 25, 1944 shelters the monument-memorial Philippe Leclerc of Hautecloque, work of the architect Raymond Subes and the sculptor Raymond Martin. The work was subsequently redesigned by the architect Sylvain Dubuisson on behalf of the City of Paris in 1997.

Area hit by military servitude, the Porte d’Orléans between the wars saw the construction of Habitations Bon Marché dressed in ocher bricks and white cement emphasizing the games of volumes, the bow windows and the workshops of artists. Set back from the Parisian hustle and bustle, there are some charming corners such as the Village of Orléans. This old subdivision of small houses, with cobbled streets and gracious squares, seduces with its provincial and picturesque atmosphere. Commercial and residential, the district revolves around large avenues.

Porte d’Orléans is a lively and urban district offering many local places to its residents.

MÉLIMONTANT I LES AMANDIERS

A former suburb with Provençal charm, the Ménilmontant I Les Amandiers district is located between the Père Lachaise cemetery and Belleville.

Perched on its hill, the district offers a picturesque setting made up of winding cobbled streets, old houses, small artists’ studios and cozy bistros. Charming with its unique atmosphere, the district transports you to a Paris of yesteryear where time seems to have stood still. A small, well-guarded haven of peace, the Cité de l’Ermitage and the Cité Leroy feature narrow streets lined with small pavilions with pretty gardens, where wisteria, lilacs, roses and magnolias bloom. Real rural scenes, these peaceful places can be explored for a pleasant change of scenery.

A pleasant neighborhood to live in, both popular, historic and steeped in old memories.

BEL-AIR

Delimited by the boulevard Picpus and the Bois de Vincennes, the Bel-Air district presents itself as a green setting in the heart of Paris.

Home to part of the Bois de Vincennes, the district is one of the greenest in the capital. Ideal for families, it is made up of a multitude of small streets and calm and lively corners.

The Sentier des Merisiers, one of the smallest alleys in Paris, guides us to pretty half-timbered houses. We let ourselves be charmed by its buildings adorned with Anglo-Saxon-style gardens and its passageways with rustic decor.

For an unusual stroll, take the Petite Ceinture, an old railway line that has become pedestrianized. Left fallow since 1934, vegetation has reclaimed its rights, invading it with unusual wild flora in the middle of the urban landscape.

The Bel-Air district offers a perfect balance between urban life and green parenthesis.

BIBLIOTHÈQUE PATAY

Located on the Left Bank, opposite Bercy, the Bibliothèque Patay district, adorned with modern buildings and large avenues, is booming.

Here, the urban landscape is punctuated by architectural masterpieces, such as the Cité du Refuge, an achievement by Le Corbusier listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The T8 building called “The Nest” by Rudy Ricciotti also brings astonishment with its double staging; covered with organic wood branches on the street side, while the interior garden reveals an exotic atmosphere.
The nerve center of the district, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France was rehabilitated at the end of the 90s, setting the tone for the district. Project of the architect Dominique Perraut, the building is part of a minimalist trend of gigantic proportions with within it a garden populated by pines and cherry trees. As you walk along the rue des Frigos, you will come across the old cold stores, now used as creative workshops by artists and craftsmen.
Since 2017, the district has been home to the Station F incubator, the largest startup campus in the world, making the district a major player in innovation. Its presence reinforces the economic attractiveness and gives its surroundings the air of a creative and attractive business district.
