Originally a popular district, inhabited by the working classes, it has started welcoming a new generation of inhabitants. Despite the demolitions, which have profoundly changed its appearance, and despite the disappearance of certain popular places, a rebellious spirit, a true interest in other people, and an overall good atmosphere prevail. it is therefore useless to look for the treasures of Menilmontant in its outward appearance.
