Its narrow streets lend it a unique atmosphere. Typical houses, verdant and peaceful squares, and discreet villas: all these elements are sure to surprise you.

During the tour, your guide will reveal this almost secret neighborhood in the 13th arrondissement, once frequented by tanners and tripe sellers who worked with leather along the Bièvre River, which has since disappeared.

Butte aux Cailles was also the Parisian district with the highest number of charitable institutions. Deeply marked by the spirit of the Paris Commune, it was then part of the commune of Gentilly and was only annexed to Paris in 1860.

A picturesque neighborhood with a little-known political and social past, Butte aux Cailles nevertheless embodies an essential part of Parisian identity. During this idyllic stroll, your guide will bring to life the history of this unique place, long considered one of the poorest in the capital.
