Quartier des Épinettes, Administrative quarter in 17th arrondissement, Paris, France

The district extends from Boulevard Bessières in the north to Rue des Dames in the south, containing residential buildings and local businesses.

The name Épinettes first appeared in 1693, referring to either white pinot grapes or brambles that grew on the agricultural lands.

The Saint-Joseph-des-Épinettes Church, constructed between 1909 and 1910, stands as a testament to the religious heritage of the neighborhood.

Metro line 13 and multiple bus routes connect the quarter to central Paris, with stations positioned throughout the district for easy access.

The Cité des Fleurs, established in 1847, housed notable residents including the impressionist painter Alfred Sisley during the 19th century.
