Quartier Sainte-Marguerite, Administrative quarter in 11th arrondissement, Paris, France.

The Sainte-Marguerite district extends between Rue de Charonne, Boulevard de Charonne and Rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine, forming the 44th administrative quarter of Paris.

The quarter received its name from the Sainte-Marguerite Church, constructed in 1625 to serve the local population of Faubourg Saint-Antoine, a neighborhood known for woodworking.

Art Factory, a 200-square-meter exhibition space within the quarter, continues the artistic legacy of the former Lavignes-Bastille gallery that displayed Andy Warhol's works.

The district contains several educational institutions, including Faidherbe Nursery School, Anne Frank Middle School, and Sainte Marguerite Catholic Private School on Rue Basfroi.

The Chapel of Souls in Purgatory, created between 1760 and 1764, features trompe-l'oeil murals illustrating Counter-Reformation values through neoclassical architectural elements.
