Cité des Courtillières - Le Serpentin
Pantin
France's longest building is a sky-blue ribbon winding through Pantin. Built in the 1950s by Émile Aillaud, this sinuous 1.3km housing complex breaks from concrete monotony with dancing curves and colorful facades. Fully restored in 2017, it's now a model of sustainable urbanism with shared gardens and a 4-hectare park at its heart.
