About Quartier Saint-Fargeau
Where to stay in Quartier Saint-Fargeau
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Rooms here are few, and the Georges Vallerey swimming pool is the landmark most people navigate by. Anyone booking this far out is trading the sights for quiet, with the stade Léo Lagrange and the centre sportif Paul Meurice standing in for the museum queues of the middle of Paris. Bagnolet is next door.
Beds come easier across that boundary or towards Pré-Saint-Gervais, with the Église Notre-Dame de Fatima marking the walk back into the quartier.
About Quartier Saint-Fargeau
What are the main landmarks in Quartier Saint-Fargeau?
Sport takes up most of the map here. The Georges Vallerey swimming pool heads that list, and the stade Léo Lagrange, the centre sportif Paul Meurice and the gymnase Mahsa Amini carry it on through halls and pitches. Three churches break the pattern: the Église Notre-Dame-des-Otages, the Église Notre-Dame de Fatima and the église Saint-Leu-Saint-Gilles de Bagnolet.
Martial arts have the dojo Tenshin.
What is the history of Quartier Saint-Fargeau?
The record here is thin. No founding year is set down for Quartier Saint-Fargeau, and what the file carries instead is a list of churches and schools, the Église Notre-Dame-des-Otages and the église Saint-Leu-Saint-Gilles de Bagnolet among them. Schools carry the commemorations.
Collèges named for Claude Chappe, Leon Gambetta and Pierre Mendès France sit beside the Erea Édith Piaf, so the quartier's public buildings read as a roll of French names rather than a chronicle of the ground itself.
Where is Quartier Saint-Fargeau?
Paris runs out here. The quartier holds the outer streets of the city beside Bagnolet and Pré-Saint-Gervais, with the Georges Vallerey swimming pool inside it.
