Convention - Family flat to renovate - Duplex

15th arrondissement: Location and surroundings of this property

Engel & Völkers is pleased to offer you a flat in the Quartier Convention. This district symbolises a balanced daily life and a peaceful, airy environment for families. A harmonious blend of wide avenues with large Haussmann or 70s buildings, quiet residential streets, green spaces and lively shopping streets. The pretty Parc André Citroën offers country walks around its apiary and vineyard, an antique book market on Saturdays and Sundays, and a host of activities for children. For a more street-art feel, a section of the Petit ceinture has been converted into a green promenade to the south of the district. Convention is also home to a number of pretty cul-de-sacs with a country feel. The Villa Santos-Dumont, designed in 1926 by the architect Raphaël Paynot, is probably one of the most beautiful, with its houses and studio windows covered in greenery. Many artists have lived here, including the painter Fernand Léger, the Italian mosaicist Gatti and the sculptor Zadkine, just a few metres from the former home of Georges Brassens. There are also a number of public transport links within easy reach, including line 8 to the Boucicaut metro station, line 10 to the Charles Michels metro station, line 12 to the Convention metro station and a variety of buses. Finally, a wide range of educational facilities, from crèches to lycées, are just a few minutes away.
