The area combines rehabilitated social housing, municipal amenities and local shops. Halal butchers and Middle-Eastern grocers are well represented along avenue Salvador Allende and around place Beaumarchais. The Géo-Charles museum and Maurice Thorez park complete the cultural and green offer of the neighbourhood.
