Quartier Necker, Administrative quarter in 15th arrondissement, Paris, France.

The Quartier Necker spans 157 hectares in eastern Paris, featuring the Montparnasse Tower, railway station, and numerous residential buildings across its territory.

The district, previously uninhabited land between Paris and Vaugirard village, received its name from Jacques Necker, a finance minister during Louis XVI's reign.

Multiple museums enrich the district, including L'Adresse Musée de La Poste, Musée Bourdelle, and Musée Pasteur, offering exhibitions about French heritage.

The area connects to Paris through multiple metro stations, with lines 6 and 12 serving key locations like Pasteur and Volontaires stations.

The Jardin Atlantique, constructed above Montparnasse station's railway tracks, provides three hectares of elevated green space among urban structures.
