Immeubles Walter, Art Deco residential complex in 16th arrondissement, France.
Immeubles Walter is a three-part residential complex in the 16th arrondissement that spans Boulevard Suchet, Avenue du Maréchal-Maunoury, and Rue Ernest-Hébert. The buildings surround interior courtyards and green spaces while featuring basement levels, three main floors, and attic areas, with apartments ranging from 236 to 549 square meters.
The buildings were designed between 1929 and 1931 by architect Jean Walter and replaced sections of the former Thiers fortification walls. During World War II they served as a strategic location for military activities in the occupied city.
The buildings display characteristic Art Deco details such as twin pilasters and protruding cornices that define their outer appearance. These features reflect the taste of wealthy Parisians who made this neighborhood their home during that era.
Visitors should note that the complex spreads across multiple properties and is accessible through pathways between buildings. Walking through the grounds allows you to fully appreciate the architectural details and green courtyards.
The complex played an unexpected role during World War II when it briefly served as a command center for military operations. Few visitors know of this connection to the wartime history of occupied Paris.
