The Wagram-Pereire district: between calm and greenery

Paris

It is built around Boulevard Pereire and Avenue Wagram, two emblematic axes in the heart of the 17th arrondissement of Paris. Bordered by the green and flowery alleys of the Promenade Pereire, the district reveals a rich architectural heritage, mixing Haussmannian buildings and Art Deco touches.

The perfect balance between Haussmann and Art Deco

The Wagram-Pereire district is an architectural gem, whose history can be read on every street corner. The wide avenues, typical of the 17th arrondissement, are lined with imposing Haussmannian buildings. With their stone facades and ornate balconies, they are the symbol of 19th-century Parisian splendor. In contrast, Art Deco buildings bring a touch of colorful modernity. Built between the 1920s and 1930s, they are distinguished by their clean lines, geometric decor and innovative materials, such as brick and concrete.

This architectural wealth gives the district a unique character, where traces of the past blend with the excitement of the present. Wagram-Pereire thus offers many exclusive properties: between exceptional family apartments, private mansions or penthouses, with a breathtaking view of the capital.

The Pereire Promenade: a haven of peace in the heart of Paris

In the heart of the neighborhood, the Promenade Pereire stretches for more than a kilometer, connecting Porte Maillot to the Pont Cardinet. Nestled above the old Petite Ceinture railway line, this suspended promenade is a popular space for local residents. Its shaded paths, flowerbeds and quiet corners are ideal for relaxing. Here, joggers meet families who have come to enjoy a Sunday stroll, while benches welcome those who wish to linger for a reading break or to breathe some fresh air. A true green lung of the neighborhood, the Promenade Pereire promises a moment of escape, without straying too far from the city sidewalks. A real plus for all those in search of greenery, just a stone's throw from home. For those who nevertheless decide to stray a few streets, the magnificent Parc Monceau promises a walk that is both romantic and elegant, between the large ponds and sculptable statues.
