History

From Montparnasse
to Montsouris

Montparnasse was, in the early 20th century, the world capital of art, bringing together Picasso, Modigliani, Hemingway and Chagall in its legendary cafés. The 14th arrondissement has preserved this bohemian and intellectual spirit, today combined with an exceptional residential quality of life around the Parc Montsouris and the Cité Universitaire. Today, between the Parc Montsouris, the Catacombs and the gentrified Plaisance, it offers a balance of family quality of life, cultural heritage and southern Left Bank centrality.

Quality of life

Markets, parks
and villages

Quality of life in the 14th is that of an arrondissement that has remained on a human scale and authentic, despite its central Paris setting. The Parc Montsouris, with its 15 hectares of free lawn, romantic lake and centuries-old cedars, is one of the parks most valued by Parisian families. The Cité Universitaire Internationale, with its 40 country houses of varied architecture, creates a cosmopolitan and cultural atmosphere unique in the capital.

The Edgar Quinet market and rue Daguerre are two of the liveliest and most authentic open-air markets in Paris, with shopkeepers loyal across generations. The arrondissement is well served (lines 4, 6, 13 and RER B) and benefits from a dense fabric of local shops around rue d'Alésia. Several reputed schools and the legendary brasseries of Montparnasse complete a Left Bank quality of life that has few equivalents.

Trois anecdotes
du 14th arrondissement

— Anecdote 01

The Catacombs of Paris, which extend beneath almost the entire 14th arrondissement, were created in the 18th century to solve the public-health problem of overcrowded Parisian cemeteries. During the Second World War, the French Resistance set up its headquarters there, while the Germans organised their own secret meetings in other galleries — two enemy armies sometimes separated by only a few metres of limestone.

— Anecdote 02

The brasserie La Coupole, opened in 1927 by the Lafon brothers, was built in 90 days and decorated its columns with paintings commissioned from local artists who agreed to paint them in exchange for free meals. Among these columns one can still recognise works by Fernand Léger, Marie Laurencin and Ossip Zadkine.

— Anecdote 03

The Tour Montparnasse, inaugurated in 1973, sparked such an aesthetic uproar that the construction of towers within central Paris was banned the following year — a decision that still protects today the low and harmonious profile of the capital.

Our view
The 14th is the place where the intellectual history of Paris was for the longest time told quietly. The Villa Montparnasse, the studios on rue Campagne-Première and the legendary brasseries of place du 18-Juin-1940 still hold within their walls the memory of Hemingway, Picasso and Giacometti. Its residents value this heritage without making a museum of it: the Edgar Quinet market, the Parc Montsouris and the small streets of Plaisance offer them a rare neighbourhood life, almost provincial, in the heart of Paris. The arrondissement is also one of the pleasantest for cycling, with the Coulée Verte and the cycle lanes of boulevard Raspail — a detail that matters greatly to those who live there.

Montparnasse Parc-de-Montsouris Petit-Montrouge Plaisance
District 01 Heritage

Montparnasse

Montrouge, on the edge of Paris beside the town of the same name, is the quietest and most residential quarter of the 14th. Its town houses, small buildings from 1900 to 1930 and tree-lined streets give it an almost provincial feel that families value. Prices are more accessible than in the rest of the arrondissement, and the value for the location is excellent.

District 02 Lively

Parc-de-Montsouris

Parc-Montsouris is the most sought-after part of the 14th, with its buildings encircling the fine English-style park and the international student campus. Apartments overlooking the park, or the national pavilions of the Cité Universitaire, are rare and much in demand, particularly among families who value quiet and greenery.

District 03 Secret

Petit-Montrouge

Petit-Montrouge, around rue d'Alésia and boulevard Brune, is the busy, down-to-earth quarter of the 14th, with a dense retail life and the much-loved Edgar Quinet market. This is where the residents of the 14th who want genuine neighbourhood life settle, among traditional bistros, butchers and open-air markets.

District 04 Luxury

Plaisance

Plaisance, around rue Raymond-Losserand and rue d'Alésia, is the most authentic and least visited quarter of the 14th. Its quiet streets, artists' studios and communal gardens make it popular with craftspeople and artists looking for space and calm within Paris. Prices remain accessible, despite a steady move upmarket.
