BUTTES AUX CAILLES

 PARIS 13TH ARRONDISSEMENT


The quaint area takes its name from Pierre Caille, who acquired the area in the 16th century.

It contains cozy bars, small restaurants, and the famous Place de la Commune-de-Paris.

Fighters from the Paris Commune repelled royalist forces during the Battle of Buttes-aux-Cailles. 

The area also is filled with graffiti-style street art, from small stencils to full murals.

It was fertile ground for the brilliant Miss Tic, a street artist who passed away this year.
