Notre avis d'expert sur le 15th arrondissement de Paris

The 15th arrondissement of Paris is rightly described as residential.
Far from the hustle and bustle of the busy Parisian arrondissements, its inhabitants cultivate the provincial atmosphere of ‘small villages’ with their churches and local shops.

Green spaces, high-quality schools and a wide range of public transport services all combine to attract families and, above all, keep them coming back for generations.
There is, however, a real lack of variety in the nightlife scene, as well as a rather lackluster cultural life.

Prices rise linearly from south to north. Your Paris property market expert recommends the Convention arrondissement, where you can enjoy a pleasant living environment at relatively reasonable prices per m².

Que devez-vous savoir avant d'acheter dans le 15th arrondissements ?

With over 230,000 inhabitants, it is the most densely populated arrondissement in Paris, as well as the third largest. Renowned for its residential environment, its many micro-neighbourhoods are packed with squares, churches and local shops. First and foremost is the highly sought-after Commerce arrondissement, with its eponymous shopping street. The Town Hall and Convention areas also have the appeal of a village arrondissement. Not forgetting the newly-renovated Beaugrenelle arrondissement, with its 50,000m² shopping centre housing shops and restaurants.

The area is dotted with green spaces for families to enjoy. The Champs-de-Mars in the chic 7th arrondissement is close by, as is the André Citroën park to the south-west and the Georges Brassens park to the south-east, just a stone’s throw from the 14th arrondissement. The architecture of the buildings is highly varied, without detracting from the overall aesthetic, ranging from Haussmannian buildings to interwar council housing estates, and from art-deco buildings in Square Desaix to the towers of the Front-de-Seine. On the outskirts of Issy-les-Moulineaux, the Porte de Versailles exhibition center, which hosts some of Paris’s biggest events such as the Salon de l’Agriculture and the Mondial de l’Automobile, is an added bonus for the area.

A bit of History

It is a young arrondissement in terms of its history. Only a small part north of the Boulevards (Pasteur, Garibaldi and Grenelle) became part of the Fermiers Généraux enclosure in the 18th century. Under Louis-Philippe, the Thiers enclosure encompassed the entire 15th arrondissement within its current boundaries. On the edge of the 6th arrondissement, the Necker hospital was built in 1778. Initially, its purpose was to ‘care for the sick with the utmost attention and the most tender humanity’, with only one patient per bed. The second ‘Enfants Malades’ hospital was built in 1802 for children under the age of 15. In 1859, the Gare de Paris-Montparnasse was inaugurated.

Founded in 1886 by Louis Pasteur, the Institut Pasteur‘s aims were to become a research center for infectious diseases, a teaching center and a dispensary for the treatment of rabies, which was rife at the time. Following the Second World War, the area around Montparnasse station underwent a metamorphosis, becoming a business and commercial arrondissement. In the 1970s, high-rise buildings were erected along the banks of the Seine, around the Beaugrenelle shopping center. In place of the former Citroën factories, the André Citroën park provided a new green space. Nearby, the Georges Pompidou European Hospital is the latest addition to the Paris hospital network. Not far away, the recent opening of the ‘Hexagone Balard’, the new Ministry of the Armed Forces, brings a new dimension to the sector.
