Quartier de l'Hôpital-Saint-Louis

Quartier de l'Hôpital-Saint-Louis is an administrative district in the 10th arrondissement of Paris that stretches from Place de la Bataille-de-Stalingrad toward Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Martin. The Saint-Louis Hospital forms its center and the area combines streets lined with buildings, institutions, and green spaces where residents move through daily life.

The district emerged in the early 1600s when King Henry IV established the Saint-Louis Hospital during a plague outbreak. He named it in honor of King Louis IX, giving the area its enduring name.

The Jardin Villemin sits on the grounds of a former military hospital and serves as a gathering place where neighbors spend time outdoors together. The green space with its varied trees and plants shapes the character of the neighborhood and invites people to pause and rest.

The district is accessible via metro lines 4, 5, and 7, which connect it to the rest of Paris. Bus line 46 serves multiple stops throughout the area and makes it easy to navigate on foot or by public transport.

Within the Jardin Villemin sits a community garden called Poireau Agile where residents grow their own vegetables and plants. This shows an unusual form of urban farming that brings neighbors together and creates space for botanical experimentation.
