Low houses, passages and street art

Butte-aux-Cailles

Butte-aux-Cailles keeps an intimate scale above the large avenues of the 13th district. Sloping streets, low houses and changing street art encourage a walk with a flexible plan.

Landmarks to locate

  • Rue des Cinq-Diamants
  • Passage Barrault
  • Piscine de la Butte-aux-Cailles
  • Cité florale

Street names and landmark names keep their local names for use on maps.

Follow the changes in scale

Start on Rue des Cinq-Diamants, explore the streets around the swimming pool, then extend towards Passage Barrault and Cité florale. The interest lies in the contrast between avenues and low-rise houses.

Respect the residential setting

The area includes slopes and narrow streets. Respect the quiet of residential roads and treat street art as a changing landscape rather than pursuing one work at any cost.
