Located in a largely residential section of the 13th arrondissement at the southern edge of historic Paris, Gentilly is nestled right alongside the peripherique ring road around the city.

Nevertheless, Gentilly is a pleasant place for an afternoon stroll and has several fascinating sculptures as well, such as the occultist "Zouave Jacob" (that's him, below).
