A little tour in southeastern Paris on a beautiful winter afternoon :

XIIIth arrondissement :





















































































XIIth arrondissement :
















































































































































The opera house :












Quite different, Canal de Saint-Denis, view towards the XIXe arrondissement :











Some commies + Tour de la Villette :








Suburbs don't have the monopoly of difficult districts, this is one of the roughest estates in Paris municipality, there were some serious gang violence problems here back in 2008 :







Some redevelopments are happening on this wharf :







La Villette/Citй des Sciences et de l'Industrie :







Some old warehouses...












Rue de Cambrai :






Villejuif :




































Cachan :




























Bagneux, southern 92 king of "citйs" :











Gentilly :












Arcueil :



The commieblock will be replaced by a dull glass box or something...










In the XXth arrondissement (eastern Paris) :

































Right bank...
















































...and left bank.













































































































Cachan











L'Haя-les-Roses











Bourg-la-Reine
































Sceaux





















I took a journey through Marne-la Vallйe's suburbia (30-35 km east of Paris centre), very kitsch and exotic for a parisian. I was also amazed by the number of Asiatic immigrants who lived in these districts. The area around Disneyland is a sort of "French" Celebration.


























Golf courses are their public gardens.







































































Two cars per house is the norm.













Taken in the southern suburbs :


Villejuif









Arcueil









Massy










L'Haя-les-Roses
