Levallois-Perret is a dense, dynamic inner suburb immediately north of the 17th Arrondissement, famous in France as the home of Michel Drucker, Canal+, and, until recently, the LVMH offices. It is one of the most densely populated communes in France and in Western Europe, packing 75,000 residents into just 2.41 km². The population is predominantly French, upper-middle class, and young-to-middle-aged — professionals working in La Défense, the media industry, or central Paris. The neighbourhood has a reputation as an ambitious, upwardly-mobile address.
Levallois-Perret's most distinctive recreational asset is the Île de la Jatte — a Seine island accessible via bridges from Levallois and Neuilly. Once famously painted by Seurat in his pointillist masterpiece "A Sunday on La Grande Jatte," the island today offers riverside walking paths, cycling routes, a club nautique for sailing and rowing, and waterside restaurants. It is a particularly lovely escape in spring and summer, with the Seine visible on both sides of the island's tree-lined paths.
Levallois-Perret is well-served by metro line 3, with two stations — Anatole France and Louise Michel — within the commune. Line 3 connects directly to Opéra, République, and Gambetta in under 20 minutes. The T2 tram runs along the commune's eastern edge via Porte de Champerret, connecting to La Défense (10 minutes) and Issy-les-Moulineaux. Line 13 stations at Porte de Clichy are a short walk from the commune's northern boundary.
Levallois has excellent day-to-day commercial infrastructure. The Rue de Villiers pedestrian shopping street is the main commercial artery, lined with French chains, independent boutiques, bakeries, and service shops. A large Carrefour and several Monoprix branches cover daily grocery needs. The Wednesday and Saturday morning market at Place Aristide Briand is a well-regarded neighbourhood market with good produce, cheese, and fresh fish stalls.
Levallois-Perret is one of the most densely built urban environments in France, which means it experiences the urban heat island effect more acutely than greener areas. Summer temperatures in Levallois can run 2–3°C above the Paris average recorded at Montsouris (the official weather station), making the increasingly common heatwaves particularly intense. The commune has invested in tree-planting and green roofs as part of its climate adaptation strategy, but the dense street grid limits how much cooling vegetation can achieve.
