This private lane emerged in the 1990s. The Villa de la Saulaie derived its name from the graceful white willows that once adorned its path. “Saulaie” literally translates to “willow plantation,” painting a picture of a tranquil oasis within the city.

Today, the willows may be gone, but their legacy lives on in the street’s name. Villa de la Saulaie remains a hidden gem, a testament to nature’s influence even in the heart of a metropolis. If you find yourself near the Alexandre Dumas metro station on Line 2, take a detour to Villa de la Saulaie. Experience the tranquility that inspired its name.
