Pantin

Tourism, holidays & weekends guide in the Seine-Saint-Denis

Commune of Seine-Saint-Denis, in the region of Ile-de-France, Pantin is bordering Paris and is located near Aubervilliers, Bobigny, La Courneuve and Noisy-le-Sec. A fine example of a 19th century suburb with its small workshops of the industrial revolution, it takes place on the banks of the Ourcq canal.

Occupied since the time of the Celts, the city of Pantin took place in antiquity on a Roman road leading from Lutetia to Trier. However, we must wait until the 11th century for the city to really develop. Much appreciated in the eighteenth century by the personalities of the time, the town is changing little by little, especially with the appearance of large bourgeois homes. The arrival of the railway in the nineteenth century also offers an opportunity for Pantin to become an important place in the Parisian suburbs.

From its glorious past, Pantin has retained an important architectural heritage to enjoy passing through the region.

Things to see and do

Built in the second half of the seventeenth century, the church of Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois takes place on the remains of a building of the twelfth century. Remodeled many times, it features eighteenth century baptismal fonts, a Crucifixion tapestry from the 1950s, and an early 19th century porch. It is now classified as an historic monument.

More recently, the Sainte-Marthe Church of Quatre-Chemins dates from the second half of the 19th century. Neo-Gothic, it presents stained glass windows from 1927 revealing episodes of the life of Jesus as well as beautiful frescoes of the Annunciation and the Nativity.

Pleasure house built by Perrard de Montreuil, the madness of Pantin dates from the Directory and was transformed into a report house in the 19th century. Listed as a historic monument for its facades and roof, it also presents an almond inventoried as a remarkable tree.

Listed in the Historical Monuments, the outdoor school was designed in the 1930s. Built in the park of the Seigneurie, it was then intended for children suffering from respiratory diseases. It now hosts a relay class "outside the walls".

The municipal swimming pool is also worth a visit. Built in the late 1930s, it is one of the first built in Île-de-France. Because of its original architecture, it is now listed in the Historical Monuments.

While strolling in the city, you will be able to appreciate the many examples of suburban architecture, or to take advantage of the banks arranged of the channel of Ourcq.
