About this listing

Location

The Alsia district is a former working class district that offers a wealth of commodities and an exceptional quality of life. An attractive district where life is good Alsia is situated between Montparnasse and the commune of Montrouge. Formerly a district of Petit-Montrouge, Alsia is named after a street that runs through its center. This former working class district of the commune of Montrouge, which in the past was home to families of storekeepers and working class people, was annexed to Paris in the middle of the 19th century. Alsia is now a sought-after residential district where real estate prices are rising, given the proximity of Montsouris park, Gare Montparnasse train station, a whole host of stores, the possibility of living in single-family houses with gardens or private courtyards, and more. The district is lively and very popular with families and young people! Alsia is particularly famous for its inexpensive fashion stores. You can find big names like Cacharel, Sinquanone, Sonia Ryckiel, and Chevignon as well as jeans stores selling top brands (Diesel, Levi’s, etc.) at unbeatable prices. An underground historic attraction The main tourist attraction in the Alsia district can be found about 65 feet underground. At the end of the 18th century, faced with sanitation problems in the cemeteries, the district’s underground quarries were chosen as the final resting place for almost six million Parisians. These are the Paris Catacombs. The entrance is located by Place Denfert-Rochereau. The tunnels are a mile long and extend as far as Rue Remy-Dumoncel. Another interesting feature of Alsia is its architectural diversity: Haussmann-style buildings, single-family residences, post-war architecture, plaster facades, etc. Rue de Lunain is one of the only streets in Paris to have nothing but Haussmann-style buildings! The district also has a large number of artists’ workshops. The famous painter douard Manet even depicted Alsia in his 1870 painting “Effet de neige Petit-Montrouge” (Effect of Snow on Petit-Montrouge). Transportation in the heart of the district Metro line 4 runs through Alsia station in the very heart of the district. The station can be accessed near the centrally located Place Victor-et-Hlne Basch, which is dominated by the Eglise Saint-Pierre de Montrouge. Because it takes its name from the Battle of Alsia between Vercingetorix and Julius Caesar, the station was chosen for the animated movie “The Twelve Tasks of Asterix.” Everything you need can be found here: grocery stores, bakeries, pharmacies, transportation, etc.
