History

From Grenelle
to Beaugrenelle

The most populated arrondissement of Paris with more than 230,000 residents, the 15th is also the most family-friendly and the most residential. Between the Parc André Citroën on the Seine, the Institut Pasteur and rue du Commerce, it offers an unmatched quality of life in a quiet, leafy and well-equipped Paris. Between the Tour Eiffel and the Parc André-Citroën, between the Front-de-Seine and the Necker hospital, it has long been the natural address of upper-middle-class Parisian families seeking quiet residential streets, generous green spaces and excellent accessibility.

Quality of life

Families, schools
and parks

Quality of life in the 15th is recognised by its residents as one of the best in Paris: vast and airy, well served (lines 6, 8, 10, 12, 13 and RER C), endowed with generous parks and a complete commercial offering, the arrondissement meets every criterion of a quality urban life. The Parc André Citroën, with its tropical greenhouses, themed gardens and tethered hot-air balloon, is one of the most successful contemporary parks in the capital.

The Institut Pasteur and its gardens, the Villa Croix de Net with its houses and flowering streets, and the many leafy squares constitute so many breaths of air within the dense urban fabric. The arrondissement is also the one with the largest number of covered markets in Paris — a living commercial tradition that residents fiercely defend, alongside the best public school network in the capital.

Trois anecdotes
du 15th arrondissement

— Anecdote 01

The Institut Pasteur, founded in 1887 by national subscription after Louis Pasteur's work on the rabies vaccine, is one of the rare scientific institutions in the world where the founder is buried on the premises. The neo-Byzantine crypt where Pasteur rests, beneath the Institute's chapel, is open to the public.

— Anecdote 02

The Parc André Citroën stands on the site of the Citroën factories, closed in 1976. The park project — won jointly by two teams of architects and landscape designers, Alain Provost on one side and Gilles Clément on the other — was the first major Parisian park designed according to an ecological and sensorial vision of nature in the city.

— Anecdote 03

La Ruche, an artists' colony built from 1902 onwards using materials salvaged from the 1900 Universal Exhibition, was the first collective workshop for foreign artists in Paris. Léger, Chagall, Modigliani and Soutine lived there in the same creative buzz that characterised Montmartre and Montparnasse.

Our view
The 15th is the arrondissement of Parisians who have chosen quiet contentment over noisy excitement. Its broad tree-lined avenues, the Parc André-Citroën on the Seine and its lively neighbourhood markets compose a balanced daily life that its residents rarely leave without regret. The most populated arrondissement of Paris is so because those who settle here no longer wish to leave: they have found that elusive blend of calm, space and amenities that the more central arrondissements can no longer offer. METROREALTY has observed for twenty-two years that families in the 15th display one of the highest loyalty rates to their arrondissement in the capital.

Saint-Lambert Necker Grenelle Javel
District 01 Heritage

Saint-Lambert

Saint-Lambert, in the north of the arrondissement between Vaugirard and Montparnasse, is the liveliest and most mixed quarter of the 15th. Its small shopping streets, covered market and neighbourhood bistros create a village life that residents value. Being close to Montparnasse and the main transport lines keeps demand high, and prices rising steadily.

District 02 Lively

Necker

Necker, around the Necker and Laennec hospitals, is the residential family quarter of the northern 15th par excellence. Its quiet Haussmann buildings, communal gardens and proximity to the 6th arrondissement make it a favourite with doctors and with families who value calm and good local amenities.

District 03 Secret

Grenelle

Grenelle, around rue du Commerce and boulevard de Grenelle, is the liveliest and most cosmopolitan quarter of the 15th. Its markets, restaurants from around the world and the emblematic elevated métro of line 6 create an atmosphere all its own. Apartments looking onto the métro viaduct are unusual properties, much photographed and much in demand.

District 04 Luxury

Javel

Javel, on the Seine between the Pont Mirabeau and the Parc André Citroën, is the fastest-changing quarter of the 15th. Former industrial sites and the redevelopment of the riverbank are drawing new residents, in particular young executives won over by the quality of the new build and the river views. This is the part of the arrondissement with the strongest prospects for appreciation.
