Reasons to go
Full description
The Quartier de la Mouzaïa was built in the early 20th century over former gypsum quarries too unstable for tall buildings, resulting in a unique grid of small private lanes lined with cottages and gardens. It remains one of the best-kept residential secrets in Paris, offering a quiet, almost village-like wander far from the usual sightseeing routes.
