Stroll through a local market and party until the early hours at a club in this gritty, alternative neighbourhood.
Belleville & Ménilmontant are a perfect example of how Paris, alongside its classic charm, also has a raw and alternative side. This multicultural artistic district 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.
