THE NEW DISTRICT OF BATIGNOLLES

 

Considered as quiet yet dynamic neighbourhood, with its lovely market, small church, its square and its famous cemetery, a village spirit fills the district of Batignolles!

And the spirit of Great French writers like Zola, Verlaine, Blaise Cendras and André Breton still live here at the Batignolles cemetery.
