Cité Jardin


A few weeks ago, Bernard took an unusual route to go to the 13th arrondissement in Paris. It is apparently a shorter route to the south east of Paris. At the roundabout, he took one exit before our usual one which takes us to Clamart.


Along the main road that cuts through Le Plessis-Robinson, we saw many old-fashioned but newly-constructed apartments and some were remodeled after the Hausmann apartments. Antiquated in outlook and yet new in substance. I have been having a crush on ancient apartments and this is ideal as I have been hoping to find an old-in-new apartment for purchase in a couple of years' time.


It is also known as a cité jardin not soley because of its award-winning floral town but also being a self-contained community surrounded by greenbelts and consisting balanced areas of residences and industry.

We have to go back there to take a walk, hopefully in a better weather, or perhaps in spring to enjoy the flowers in bloom and the environment in its entirety.
