If its a pet they should be indoors where they can have lots of room to roam and be free from the elements. If they\'re not a pet... I don\'t think they\'d be raising edible rabbits in Paris. A big chicken coup perhaps? I don\’t like the idea of rabbit hutches. If its a pet they should be indoors where they can have lots of room to roam and be free from the elements.

Very dangerous looking. Where are the steel or metal walkway handrails? Sorry, but this development looks undone, and I've seen a lot of modernist stuff. All the exposed buttress 'wood' stuff is over done. More hooey from architects who subject us to their theoretical eyesores.

I saw the old houses/ruins before they were torn down, the project, the construction... It's a fantastic area, but I am sad to say that I find it terrible that it is all fenced in and the whole area is closed of to the rest of the neighbors. We could walk through the little alleys, chat with neighbors...we no longer can. The buildings might be green, but fencing in is not very social...great shame. Lucky that the rest of the area has stayed true to the spirit of the neighborhood. I have lived in this area of Paris for over 10 years.
