Notre avis d'expert sur le 14th arrondissement de Paris

The 14th arrondissement of Paris is typically Parisian: few tourists, neither too chic nor too popular.
Families are attracted by the many green spaces, including Parc Montsouris, as well as the quality of the schools.

Young people appreciate the highly-developed cultural life (see the history of this area) and the easy access to public transport.
The area around Montparnasse station and major thoroughfares such as Avenue du Maine suffers from a fair amount of noise pollution, not to mention the pollution caused by heavy traffic.

Your property hunter advises you to buy a property in the Alésia arrondissement, where you can enjoy a pleasant living environment at relatively reasonable prices per square meter.

Que devez-vous savoir avant d'acheter dans le 14th arrondissements ?

Dynamic and varied are the two best words to describe this arrondissement. As well as the lively rue Raymond Losserand and the famous rue Daguerre, close to the town hall, you can enjoy the peace and quiet of the Place Flora Tristan, with its small terrace tables. There are also a number of restaurants and bars close to Montparnasse, giving Parisians a lively nightlife. Cultural life has been developing since the early 19th century, with many renowned theaters and cinemas. The Fondation Cartier is well worth a visit for its magnificent exhibitions of contemporary art. And for something different, a visit to the catacombs is a trip in itself.

This arrondissement has many squares and gardens where children can play and adults can read or stroll. Close by in the 13th arrondissement is Parc Montsouris, with its magnificent paths around the lake, the games and merry-go-round in the square on rue Pierre Castagnou, and the pretty spaces of the Jardin Lionel-Assouad. The mix of housing in the arrondissement is as varied as the area itself, with former artists’ studios converted into homes, lofts in former printing works, Haussmann-style buildings, blocks of flats from the 1970s and townhouses in private cul-de-sacs. The area is also served by 4 metro lines (4, 6, 12 and 13), a tramway line and the RER B.

Quels sont les différents quartiers de Paris 14 ?

Montparnasse

Mainly occupied by the Cochin hospital and the cemetery of the same name, Montparnasse is a sought-after, bourgeois arrondissement because of its proximity to the very chic 6th arrondissement. The famous Haussmann façades can be found here, as well as some superb buildings, including the one at 31 rue Campagne-Première, which is listed as a Paris monument. The sculpture of the Lion of Belfort is enthroned on Place Denfert-Rochereau.
Parc-de-Montsouris

The eponymous park, with its charming walkways, lake and Sainte-Anne hospital, covers much of this area. Between the boulevards des Maréchaux and the ring road, the Cité Universitaire, with its exotic pavilions, is a place of life and cultural activities where students from all over the world gather.
Petit-Montrouge

This highly residential area is dominated by townhouses and artists' studios. The town hall arrondissement is more middle-class and livelier. Finally, the shops and life of Alésia are sought after by the Bourgeois-Bohemian population, making it a booming arrondissement.
Plaisance

To the north, the sought-after Pernety arrondissement, with its many shops on rue Raymond Losserand and the peace and quiet of its charming little streets. To the south, the arrondissement's working-class arrondissement, with its many tower blocks and bars surrounding the Saint-Joseph hospital. This was one of the bastions of the workers' movement, the Commune uprising and the Resistance.

A bit of History

The history of this arrondissement is fairly recent. It was first and foremost a crossing point between Paris and Orléans (an ancient Roman road), used by many pilgrims. Founded in the 17th century, Port-Royal Abbey was a major center of the Jansenist movement. Urbanization took the form of a series of villages: Petit Montrouge, the Plaisance housing estate, the village of Thermopyles, etc. On the outskirts of the 6th arrondissement, the Paris Observatory is the oldest active observatory in the world. Opened in 1824, on the edge of the 15th arrondissement, the Montparnasse cemetery is home to the graves of numerous political, religious and even artistic figures.

New hospitals were frequently built at the end of the 19th century: Broussais, Saint Joseph, Notre-Dame de Bon Secours. Napoleon III decided to create a psychiatric hospital on the site of the Sainte-Anne farm. This ‘asylum’ was inaugurated in 1867, before adding a number of specialities over the decades (psychiatry, neurology, addictions, etc.) to become the Sainte-Anne hospital center. Finally, the Hôpital Cochin (on the edge of the 5th arrondissement) was created in 1902 from the merger of 2 existing establishments. At the beginning of the 20th century, the 14th arrondissement attracted a community of artists who went on to form the “Ecole de Paris”.
