Villa Léandre
Opened in 1926 off avenue Junot, Villa Léandre is a cobbled cul-de-sac lined with individual red-brick houses, complete with small gardens, wisteria and painted shutters — a distinctly Anglo-Norman architecture, rare in Paris. It is named after the caricaturist Charles Léandre, a Montmartre figure.
One joke amuses attentive visitors: number 10 bears a "10 Downing Street" plaque. The lane is still lived in and utterly quiet, steps from the bustle of place du Tertre. Tip: it is a private but publicly accessible street and residential; walk it quietly in a few minutes, then continue along avenue Junot to the Tristan Tzara house, built by Adolf Loos.
