The neighborhood is both peaceful and lively. The Serge Gainsbourg station — a new gateway to Line 11, named in homage to 'Le Poinçonneur des Lilas' — puts Paris just 10 minutes away. It's an ideal area for families, who benefit from the immediate proximity of sought-after schools like the Paul Langevin complex or Marie Curie Middle School.
Daily life is bustling around the many shops on Rue de Paris, friendly bistros, and restaurants with varied flavors, from the Mauritian cuisine at Le Chamarel to the homemade dishes at Kim Yang. Fresh produce lovers are spoiled for choice between the stalls of the Gisèle Halimi covered market and the unmissable organic market on Waldeck-Rousseau Avenue. For relaxation, the Mulinghausen municipal swimming pool and local parks are just a stone's throw away.
