Two Butte-aux-Cailles surprises facing each other: the Villa Daviel, a cobbled lane of pastel houses with front gardens (opened 1912), and behind the blue gate at 10 Rue Daviel, La Petite Alsace, a 1912 garden-city of about forty half-timbered, pointed-roof workers' houses by architect Jean Walter.

Good to know
- La Petite Alsace is private: look from the gate, do not walk in.
- From there you can glimpse the "Petite Russie", white taxi-drivers' houses on a third-floor terrace.
- These are homes: keep voices low and do not photograph through windows or gates.
