Rue des Vignoles
A former lane of the village of Charonne, rue des Vignoles is most notable for the dozen dead-end alleys leading off it, each lined with low houses, workshops and leafy yards inherited from the 19th century.
The area long housed craftspeople and activists, and keeps a strong working-class identity, now layered with street-art murals. Tip: don't stay on the street itself — the interest lies in the impasses (Poule, Bergame, Satan and others), best explored one by one while respecting residents' peace.
