No Buttes About It!
Photos by Ami B Cadugan
Paris is a city where walking equates to a constant journey of discovery. So many little Rues to explore, hidden passages to uncover and glimmers of inspiration and creativity around every corner. It is one of the beautiful aspects of this city and every district in town can reveal something new with each promenade. In an animated conversation with one of our contributors this week such an encounter was revealed. Here’s her photo story.
While meandering through China Town (household bargains galore!), NY Mama Ami Cadugan literally stumbled into the charming “village within a city” of the Buttes Aux Cailles. This Montmartre-like neighbourhood, in the 13th Arrondissement of Paris, boasts quaint cobblestone streets, artists workshops (ateliers) and cafés galore. Street Art lovers will rejoice!

At every nook and cranny, the walls (Les Murs – the walls) are graced with works from MissTic, Seth, Bebar and more.
Enjoy the photos!

To find this hidden quarter of Paris, your best bet is to take Metro Ligne 6 to Corvisart. Bus ligne 62 and 57 also stop nearby at Bobillot-Tolbiac. Happy exploring!
Discover the city and enjoy the beauty of what Paris has to offer.
