La Campagne à Paris was built in the early 20th century as affordable housing modeled on English garden-city ideals, resulting in a small enclave of low brick cottages with gardens that feels entirely unlike the rest of the city. It remains one of Paris's true hidden gems, known mainly to locals and curious wanderers rather than typical tourist itineraries.
