In the Middle Ages, the Peupliers district was a rural area with cultivated fields, vineyards and pastures bordering the Bièvre river. Water mills, tanners and dyers settled on the banks of the river. Over the centuries, the district has experienced rapid urbanization with the arrival of many craftsmen and industries. In 1860, the district was integrated into Paris and underwent an anarchic urbanization. The Bièvre river, which had become a polluted cesspool, was diverted from the Seine to be concreted and buried. At the beginning of the 20th century, new types of constructions emerged, giving the district its current appearance. The district remained popular until the 1960s, then experienced a rise in its standard of living and is today sought after for its quality of life, its shops, its green spaces and its atypical architecture.
Butte-aux-Cailles
(Pass by)
La Butte-aux-Cailles is a district of Paris located in the 13th arrondissement, near the Place d'Italie. This district is appreciated for its tranquility and its village atmosphere, with its small cobbled streets, its buildings covered with ivy and its pavilions in bloom. You can contemplate ephemeral works of urban art created by graffiti artists and stencils. Place Paul Verlaine is home to a fountain that distributes pure spring water, drawn from more than 600 meters deep and used to supply the neighborhood swimming pool. This swimming pool, classified as a historical monument, is in the Art Nouveau style and is a victim of its own success on sunny days.
