La Campagne à Paris
Perched on a former gypsum quarry in the 20th arrondissement, the Campagne à Paris estate was built between 1908 and 1928 by a cooperative society created to help workers become homeowners. Just four streets, around ninety brick and millstone houses, each with a small garden.
The staircases, wisteria and absence of traffic give the impression of a village set above the city, a short walk from Porte de Bagnolet. Tip: people live here, so keep it quiet; enter from Place Octave-Chanute and loop round rue Irénée-Blanc, rue Jules-Siegfried and rue Paul-Strauss in about twenty minutes.
