Porte de Clichy, a changing district in the northwest of Paris

The Porte de Clichy district is an evolving multicultural area. It is lively and cosmopolitan and has a wide range of little stores, cafés, and inexpensive bistros. The area is popular with business visitors and families. Historically, the district was an industrial, working class suburb with a mixed urban fabric and a few surprises in store, like the fabulous Cité des Fleurs, created in 1847 on the private land of the commune of Batignolles-Monceau.

Chill out near Porte de Clichy

With its vast, undulating lawn, its deckchairs, playgrounds, and a water lily pond, Parc Clichy-Batignolles-Luther King (Impasse Chalabre) is the area's newest green space. In the neighboring Batignolles district, the Grande Loge de France (8 Rue de Puteaux) contains a cultural center dedicated to freemasonry. More unusual still, the pastoral Cité des Fleurs is a long, pedestrianized path bordered by single-family houses and small gardens overflowing with flowers.

A haven of peace for gallivanting

Shopping in Porte de Clichy is easily reachable on foot and particularly well-stocked.
