Gros-Caillou, Administrative quarter in 7th arrondissement, Paris, France

The Gros-Caillou district spans 138 hectares between the Eiffel Tower and the Seine River, featuring wide boulevards with Haussmannian buildings and stone facades.

The area transformed from agricultural fields in the 17th century to an urban district in 1860 during the extensive reorganization of Paris under Prefect Haussmann.

Rue Cler maintains traditional Parisian commerce with its fresh produce markets, cheese shops, bakeries, and cafes that line the pedestrian street.

The district connects to central Paris through metro lines 8 and 9, with numerous bus routes providing additional transportation options throughout the neighborhood.

The Quai Branly Museum presents 3500 artifacts from indigenous cultures in a modern building with vertical gardens designed by Jean Nouvel.

Location: 7th arrondissement of Paris
