Place Octave Chanute (19th)
As promised, we’re off to visit the remaining 2 streets of the 5 secret streets of Paris La Campagne Paris (Place Octave Chanute) and La Mouza a (Rue de Mouza. We began our voyage on the metro and finished a pied to Place Octave Chanute in the 19th arrondissement. The group of streets known as la campagne Paris is a block of buildings located on a hill to the east of Paris. The roads are lined with small red brick houses with rose bushes on the fasades. Unfortunately, no roses blooming this time of year. They originally were intended as low-income housing given that they were built on the land of an old quarry. Took the staircase to rue Irene Blanc and explore this idyllic pastoral neighbourhood.
the internet we found information about Rue de Mouza “Walk in mouzaia. We eventually found a starting point and strolled up Rue de Mouzaia looking up the side streets enjoying the quiet of the area. This green enclave near Parc des Buttes Chaumont is like a little island with its tiny houses, flower gardens and steep cobbled streets where it’s fun to get lost. Originally this was cheap housing, for working-class people, but nowadays more affluent Parisians live here, in this tiny village in the centre of Paris.

On our way back to the apartment we stopped for a late lunch in the 1st at one of our favorite cafes by the church L’Aglise Saint-Eustache, La Pointe Saint-Eustache at 1 rue Montorgueil.
Here in an interesting bit of trivia, while writing this post I noticed that the 19th arrondissement was the only one we had not spent any time in. This now means that we have explored or pursued an adventure in all 20 of Paris’s arrondissements. This is not to say we have run out of things to do and see because there are plenty more but I think this is a big achievement.
