Village suisse, Outdoor shopping centre in Grenelle, Paris, France.

Village Suisse is an outdoor shopping centre in the 15th arrondissement, made up of small buildings with steep dark roofs, wood or stone walls and some white plaster, grouped at the foot of a tall pale layered rock face. A two-storey wooden chalet with a balcony faces a paved walkway tiled in alternating pale grey and pinkish squares, lined by glazed shop fronts such as Galerie Delf 58.

The Village suisse takes its name from a reconstituted Swiss Alpine village designed by Charles Henneberg and Jules Allemand for the 1900 Exposition universelle, at the foot of the Grande Roue de Paris. After the wheel was dismantled between 1920 and 1922, stalls and shops appeared nearby, some kept by ragpickers said to have reused the wheel's gondolas. Brocanteurs and antique dealers gradually replaced them, and in the 1960s modern buildings replaced the shops, with traders reinstalled on the ground floor and in the basement.

The name comes from the Swiss Alpine village built for the 1900 World's Fair by Charles Henneberg and Jules Allemand. The courtyards keep the names of the original village squares: Berne, Geneva, Lausanne, Lucerne, Lugano and Zurich, plus the Fribourg walk. Actress Mary Marquet (1895-1979) kept an antiques shop here for years. The Printemps des arts was held here for the second time in 2016.

The shopping centre is easy to reach by public transport and contains many specialized shops in a compact layout. You can walk easily through the different areas and explore the shops without getting lost.

The place concentrates a large number of antique dealers, art galleries, and craft workshops in a small area. This makes it a gathering spot for fans of decorative arts and rare objects.
