Rue Daviel
Rue Daviel is home to the Petite Alsace, a set of half-timbered houses built in 1912 around a shared courtyard, conceived as a family estate for workers away from the unhealthy tenements of the time.
Opposite, Villa Daviel continues the surprise with its cottages and flowering gardens. Together they form one of the most unexpected corners of the 13th, steps from the Butte-aux-Cailles. Tip: the Petite Alsace courtyard is private — look from the gateway without entering, then cross to Villa Daviel to continue the walk.
