Quartier de la Gare, Administrative quarter in 13th arrondissement, Paris, France

The Quartier de la Gare spans 304.4 hectares, making it the largest administrative district in Paris, bordered by Vincent-Auriol Boulevard and the Seine River.

Named after the water station of Ivry built during Louis XV's reign, this area transformed from marshlands and vineyards into an urban district in 1860.

The François Mitterrand National Library stands as a central institution in this quarter, while numerous Asian restaurants line the streets around Choisy Avenue.

The district connects to central Paris through multiple transportation options, including metro stations Olympiades, Bibliothèque François Mitterrand, and several bus lines.

The quarter contains Paris's largest Asian district, formed by a triangle between Choisy Avenue, Ivry Avenue, and Masséna Boulevard.
