BEYOND

THE CENTRE

Once a largely rural area, the lands beyond Paris’s
city walls supplied the city with food for centuries.
It was also home to those jettisoned from the city;
a legacy of plague hospitals, leper col onies and
cemeteries pepper the land scape. In 1860, the 11
villages were absorbed into the city as Napoléon
reorganized the city’s infra structure. In the 18th
century, low-cost housing in Montmartre attracted
the working classes, as well as artists and intellec-
tuals. In the 1970s, the final bastion of this past,
the slaughterhouses of La Villette, became a park.
