Stroll through a local market and party until the early hours at a club in this gritty, alternative neighbourhood.
The fact that Paris, alongside its classic character, also has a raw and alternative side is all too evident in Belleville & Ménilmontant. This multicultural artistic neighbourhood is home to many creative types and students. It is therefore a young, up-and-coming neighbourhood with plenty of cosy cafés and shops. Here you’ll find trendy organic restaurants and beautiful parks. Tourists don’t seem to have really discovered the neighbourhood yet, which means that in many places you’ll find yourself completely surrounded by locals.
