15th arrondissement of Paris

The southwestern district covers 8.5 square kilometers and includes four distinct neighborhoods: Saint-Lambert, Necker, Grenelle, and Javel along the Seine River.

The district emerged in 1860 when Paris annexed three villages: Grenelle, Vaugirard, and Javel, leading to substantial urban development throughout the 19th century.

Museum Bourdelle preserves the former residence and studio of sculptor Antoine Bourdelle, displaying his monumental works in bronze and marble across gardens and galleries.

The district contains 227,746 residents, numerous metro stations, parks, markets, and educational institutions, including the renowned culinary school Le Cordon Bleu.

The district features the Parc André Citroën, constructed on former Citroën manufacturing grounds, with specialized gardens and a tethered hot air balloon for aerial views.
