Les Lilas offers a variety of options for a stay: concerts and theater history, two parks with their own distinctive features, a swimming pool, and architecture in the city panorama. You can choose where to stay based on whether culture, green spaces, swimming or the area’s built environment is your priority.
Concerts and Theater History
The Théâtre du Garde-Chasse hosts concerts and was inaugurated in 1905. Its wood paneling and ceilings were listed as historic monuments in 1990. The dates mark different aspects of the building’s history: 1905 for the inauguration of the building, and 1990 for the listing of its wood paneling and ceilings. Accessibility information is maintained on the venue’s current website; it lists two elevators providing access to the auditorium and to the foyer, which has a ticket desk, bar and restrooms.
Two Parks with Different Features
Parc Lucie-Aubrac covers 15,400 square meters. Visitors can picnic, play, stroll, garden and relax there. The Le potager des Lilas association also runs a community garden in the park. This garden gives gardening its own dedicated, community-organized focus.
Parc Simone Veil has play structures for children and a book hut. In the same park, the “Arbre des libertés” commemorates the victims of the slave trade and slavery. The difference between the green spaces is clear: Lucie-Aubrac combines a range of park activities with a community garden, while Simone Veil offers play structures, a book hut and a place of remembrance.
Swimming at Piscine Mulinghausen
Piscine Mulinghausen has a 25-meter pool and is a Tournesol-type swimming pool. Its dome can be partially opened in summer. The pool length and dome offer two distinct points of reference: a specific measurement and an architectural feature with a seasonal option.
Architecture and City Panorama
The TDF Tower is part of the Les Lilas city panorama. The Tour Hertzienne, known as the Tour de Romainville, is associated with the “Architecture contemporaine remarquable” designation. These offer different architectural perspectives: the TDF Tower is notable for its place in the panorama, while the Tour Hertzienne is associated with the designation. The city panorama and contemporary architecture therefore offer two points of interest for visitors curious about the built environment of Les Lilas.
Getting Around by Public Transport
At Porte des Lilas, you can connect to Metro line 11, Metro line 3bis and tram line T3b. Metro line 11 also serves two stations in Les Lilas. Keep these details distinct when planning your route: the three line connections are at Porte des Lilas, while the two stations are the additional information about Metro line 11 in Les Lilas. This makes it possible to distinguish the transport links at Porte des Lilas from the line 11 stations in the area. For a specific journey, you can then check the connection to your destination.
