The area features tightly woven streets, multistory residential buildings, and smaller thoroughfares creating a dense neighborhood with shops and cafes.

The quarter takes its name from Notre-Dame-des-Champs Church, built between 1867 and 1876 under architect Ginain's direction in Romanesque style. This religious landmark helped the district develop its own identity and structure as a distinct neighborhood.
