Campagne à Paris, Garden neighborhood in 20th arrondissement, France
The neighborhood contains 92 small houses built along winding streets, featuring brick and millstone construction with individual gardens and ornate details.
Pastor Sully Lombard established this residential area in 1907 as a cooperative housing project, transforming a former gypsum quarry into affordable homes.
The neighborhood maintains strict architectural guidelines established in 1924 to preserve the visual harmony and residential character of the community.
Located near Porte de Bagnolet metro station on line 3, the neighborhood streets including Rue Jules-Siegfried and Rue Irénée-Blanc are open to public visits.
Property values in this former working-class district now exceed one million euros due to its rare suburban configuration within Paris city limits.

This cultural route, highly diverse, explores Paris beyond its usual landmarks, revealing a city of art collections, green spaces, and varied architecture. The itinerary includes the Musée Marmottan Monet, which houses more than 300 paintings by the artist, squares like Parc Monceau with its columns and 18th-century pavilions, and urban ensembles such as Place des Vosges, completed in 1612 under Henri IV. The circuit also passes through Île Saint-Louis, where mansions line the quays since the 17th century, and crosses the Marais district, with its narrow streets filled with galleries and museums inside historic aristocratic houses. The route extends to the Fondation Louis Vuitton in the Bois de Boulogne, a glass and steel building designed by Frank Gehry, opened in 2014. Other stops include lesser-visited spots such as Coulée verte René-Dumont, a 4.7 km planted promenade on an old railway, and Parc de Bercy with its three themed gardens. This circuit allows visitors to see different facets of Paris, from the catacombs under the 14th arrondissement to the colorful facades of rue Crémieux, from the flower market on Île de la Cité to César's large-scale sculpture in La Défense.
