About
Beyond the church itself, a remarkable Art Deco manifesto whose furniture, stained glass, and original decorations have remained intact since its inauguration in 1938, the neighborhood has many discoveries in store.
Along its quiet streets lined with colorful houses, it reveals often overlooked heritage, including former factories that bear witness to the area's industrial past, artisan workshops, a few discreet gardens, and other architectural curiosities that tell the unique story of this sector of eastern Paris.
This guided tour is organized by the Paris City History Committee.
