Furnished apartment and studio rentals in Paris Batignolles Area.

A fashionable, creative district

Away from downtown Paris, Batignolles lies roughly between Boulevard des Batignolles to the south and Rue Cardinet to the north, Avenue de Clichy to the east and Rue de Rome to the west. Batignolles has always been a modest district, inspiring many artists and other creative people. The poet Paul Verlaine spent his youth there, as did the singer Barbara. The famous painter Edouard Manet was even a member of the Batignolles Group, an association of neighborhood artists. Last but not least, the Belgian singer Jacques Brel wrote his hit Ne me quitte pas there.

A village within the city

Residents relax in Square des Batignolles, an English-style garden with gentle hills, a grotto, a river, a waterfall, and even a miniature lake. For those who love greenery, the gigantic Clichy-Batignolles park is a modern 11-acre park designed with sustainable development in mind. On the edge of the district, Batignolles cemetery is the resting place of famous artists including André Breton, Paul Verlaine, Blaise Cendrars, and Ray Ventura. Further down, on Rue de Lévis, locals do their shopping at the permanent fruit and vegetable market.
