The Vibe

Paris's most populous arrondissement —
authentic residential life at its best.

Developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a residential area, the 15th is where Parisians actually live. The Citroën car factory was located here until the 1970s, now transformed into a modern park. The marché de Grenelle and the Parc André Citroën define the rhythm of daily life here.

Quiet, family-oriented, and authentically Parisian. This is where you go to understand how Parisians actually live — excellent markets, local bakeries, and a complete absence of the tourist economy. The tethered balloon at Parc André Citroën offers some of the best views in the city.
