Enjoy the sea and the green at the heart of Ostend
Petit Paris is a new development on Koninginnelaan in the Belle Époque district of Ostend, linking the parks and the sea. The North Sea and the Royal Galleries meet the Japanese Garden, the Thermae Palace, the planned city park with water features, the Princess Stéphanie Park and the tennis club.
The arcades and grand foyer of Petit Paris create a place of repose for residents and passers-by. A place where life, refinement and identity meet.
