Plaisance, Administrative quarter in 14th arrondissement, Paris, France
The Plaisance quarter covers 178.5 hectares within the 14th arrondissement of Paris, extending from Paris-Montparnasse station to Place de Catalogne.
The quarter inherited its name from a 17th-century farm located on Rue du Château, which gained recognition through leaseholder Alexandre Chauvelot in the mid-19th century.
During the early 19th century, the northern section of Plaisance attracted literary figures like Victor Hugo and Alexandre Dumas to its entertainment establishments.
