About Batignolles
Where to stay in Batignolles
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Batignolles is bounded on the south by the Boulevard des Batignolles, on the east by the Avenue de Clichy, on the north by Rue Cardinet and on the west by the Rue de Rome, so a stay here is chosen by which of those four edges suits the trip. The middle stays quiet. The parc Clichy Batignolles - Martin Luther King gives the neighbourhood its open ground.
Two churches and the Cinémathèque Robert-Lynen fill out the rest.
About Batignolles
What are the main landmarks in Batignolles?
Two museums lead. The Musée Nissim de Camondo and the Musée Cernuschi are the collections filed with Batignolles, while Saint-Augustin, the Église Saint-Michel des Batignolles and the église Sainte-Marie des Batignolles carry the churches. The Cinémathèque Robert-Lynen and the Maison Courmont add a screening room and a house.
Green and water follow: the parc Clichy Batignolles - Martin Luther King, the parc Beit Sahour and the piscine municipale Bernard Lafay. Sport closes the list at the centre sportif Leon Biancotto and the gymnase Fragonard.
What is the history of Batignolles?
The name repeats everywhere. Batignolles gives it to the Boulevard des Batignolles that bounds the neighbourhood on the south, to the Église Saint-Michel des Batignolles and to the église Sainte-Marie des Batignolles, though no founding year is recorded for the quarter itself. Its older buildings come without dates as well, the Maison Courmont and the Musée Nissim de Camondo among them.
Paris keeps the chronology. What Batignolles keeps is a boundary, Rue Cardinet, Rue de Rome, Avenue de Clichy, and the addresses inside it.
Where is Batignolles?
Batignolles fills a rectangle of the 17th arrondissement, running from the Boulevard des Batignolles up to Rue Cardinet.
