Charonne, Administrative quarter in 20th arrondissement, France
The Charonne quarter extends across the southeastern section of the 20th arrondissement, containing residential buildings and local commerce establishments along its streets.
Originally an independent municipality, Charonne merged into Paris during the 1860 territorial expansion under Napoleon III's administration, transforming into an administrative district.
The intersection of Rue de Bagnolet and Rue Saint-Blaise forms the traditional center of the quarter, where residents gather for local markets and community activities.
Multiple bus lines and metro stations, including the Alexandre Dumas and Avron stops, provide transportation connections throughout this section of eastern Paris.
The quarter maintains its distinct identity through preserved street patterns and architecture from its days as a separate village, particularly visible in the Saint-Blaise area.
