Free visit of Champignol
The Champignol district is delimited to the south by Avenue du Bac, to the west by Boulevard de Champigny, to the east by Avenue Didier and to the north by Marne. While the northern part of the district was quickly settled (as early as 1881 for the space between the station and Verdun Avenue), the southern part was later. In 1864 it was reserved for the construction of factories, but no takers were found. It was therefore settled after 1870, first in the triangle between Avenue du Centenaire, Avenue de Verdun and the RER line, then in the other sectors between 1885 and 1925. This is the part we invite you to discover. A district still very rural in 1921 but which welcomes many inhabitants in the Interwar period. The proposed route allows you to understand the history of the neighbourhood by observing the architecture of its houses, from the “remarkable building” protected by the PLU, to the modest “economic house” or the report building. The booklet also includes a track game for children.
