South of Auteuil
Sun-Mon
The Rise of Brooklyn-sur-Seine.
Around the turn of the 2010s, after working-class districts like the 10th, 11th, and 19th arrondissements—whose charms had first been highlighted by the bobos—Paris turned its sights to the area south of Auteuil in search of a new frontier. Just as New York had found its new Brooklyn in Bushwick, the capital set its sights on this neighborhood that no one yet dared to call “So-Au”—short for South of Auteuil.
People aren’t calling it “So-Au”—South of Auteuil—yet, but it shouldn’t be long. Unless, in a move that’s even more quintessentially Parisian, we stick with the name “Village Boileau” for this block bounded by Avenue de Versailles, Rue Michel-Ange, Rue Chardon-Lagache, and Boulevard Exelmans—an area currently undergoing a “Brooklynization.” It has a slightly provincial charm, with old workers’ houses, bourgeois villas, and private driveways; Guimard’s first apartment building; luxury residences from the 1960s featuring mosaic work; 1930s bow windows; and fountains by Paul Landowski.
An outdoor architecture exhibition—so trendy in 2017. Because this corner of Paris is the final frontier, ever since artistic director Frank Durand
rediscovered.
"It all happened quite naturally."
