Quartier Saint-Ambroise

The Quartier Saint-Ambroise is the 44th administrative district (quartier) of Paris, located in the 11th arrondissement. It is named after the Church of Saint-Ambroise, which in turn honors Saint Ambrose of Milan. The neighborhood is bounded by Rue Oberkampf to the northwest, Boulevard Beaumarchais to the southwest, Boulevard de Ménilmontant to the northeast, and Rue du Chemin Vert to the southeast. Here you'll find a mix of historic architecture and modern culture. Besides the church itself, notable sights include Square Richard Lenoir and cultural venues such as the Comédie Bastille, the Bataclan, and the Atelier des Lumières.
