Quartier de l'Europe, Administrative quarter in 8th arrondissement of Paris, France.
Description
The Quartier de l'Europe is an administrative quarter in the 8th arrondissement of Paris that centers on Place de l'Europe. Streets here are named after major European capitals such as Vienna, London, and Madrid, creating a map-like layout with an international character.
History
The district began urbanizing in the 1820s when a Swedish banker and a locksmith acquired land to develop residential areas. This early expansion reflected the growing development happening at the edges of Paris at that time.
Culture
The neighborhood is home to the Regional Conservatory of Music, and Rue de Rome contains shops focused on musical instruments. This concentration of music-related businesses shapes the character of the quarter and attracts students and craftspeople interested in the craft.
Practical
The quarter is well connected to central Paris through Saint-Lazare station, which provides access to regional trains and several metro lines. This convenient transportation hub makes it easy to reach the area and move around the wider city.
