Fancy a stroll in the countryside without leaving Paris? We have just what you need: the Campagne district in Paris. Just from the name alone, you can imagine the beauty and tranquility of the place.
The neighborhood was inaugurated in 1926. It was originally built to accommodate low-income families and other Parisian workers, in order to make it easier for them to become homeowners. Today, this pretty development of 92 one- and two-story townhouses is no longer really intended for the same socio-professional category.
Located on the outskirts of Paris, just before the noisy Porte de Bagnolet, La Campagne à Paris is a dream come true for Parisians in need of greenery: pleasant little cobbled streets, brick houses covered with ivy, wisteria and roses, flower-filled gardens, very few cars and therefore very little noise... A small, elegant and unusual country dream.
The houses are built in different architectural styles (Alsatian with half-timbering and pointed roofs, London-style, some with balconies), which gives the whole area a lot of charm.
A beautiful bucolic stroll for your next weekend in the streets of Paris!
