In the heart of Issy-les-Moulineaux, a modern suburb southwest of Paris, lies Place Chabanne. Don’t let the contemporary surroundings fool you. Place Chabanne has a direct link to an architectural powerhouse, albeit one often associated with Lyon. This connection lies with the firm, Chabanne et partenaires. Founded by Jean Chabanne in 1969, originally as Ateliers Chabanne, this architecture and engineering firm boasts a diverse portfolio. While their work graces numerous cities across France, their ties to Place Chabanne here in Issy-les-Moulineaux offer a glimpse into their architectural prowess on the outskirts of the City of Lights. Although not a historical landmark in the traditional sense, Place Chabanne serves as a reminder of the ever-evolving urban landscape of Paris and its surrounding areas.
