Quartier de la Villette, Administrative district in 19th arrondissement, France.

The Villette district extends from the Bassin de la Villette to the expansive park, featuring numerous cultural institutions and recreational spaces.

Before its incorporation into Paris in 1860, La Villette was an independent commune that generated wealth through agriculture and gypsum quarries.

The district contains multiple performance venues, including the Philharmonie de Paris, Cite de la Musique, and Zenith, making it a center for musical arts.

The area connects to central Paris through multiple metro stations, with Place de la Republique accessible within 13 minutes by public transportation.

The Rue de Crimee lift bridge, dating from 1885, performs 9000 operations annually to allow large vessels passage through the canal system.
