Quartier de la Roquette, Administrative quarter in 11th arrondissement, Paris, France
The Quartier de la Roquette extends from Place de la Bastille to Boulevard de Ménilmontant, featuring traditional Parisian architecture and commercial establishments along its streets.
The district's name originated around 1470 as 'la Rochette', referring to a yellow flower that grew in the area before urban development took place.
The quarter maintains a mixture of residents including families from various immigration waves, middle-class professionals, students, and creative professionals in its buildings.
Major thoroughfares such as Rue Amelot, Boulevard Beaumarchais, and Rue de Lappe connect the quarter to adjacent areas and provide access to public transportation.
The district houses the Viaduc des Arts, where artisans work in converted railway arches, producing and selling handcrafted goods beneath a elevated garden promenade.
