Home to the Manufacture des Gobelins since the 17th century, the 13th is Paris's most diverse arrondissement. The Asian community settled here in the 1970s–80s, creating the largest Chinatown in Europe. The area around the Bibliothèque Nationale represents modern Parisian urban development.
Truly diverse — from the hip Butte-aux-Cailles crowd to the bustling Asian markets. Very authentic and unpretentious. The cobblestone streets of Butte-aux-Cailles feel like a village within the city, with street art, cozy bars, and a community that hasn't been polished for tourists.
Venue recommendations coming soon for this arrondissement.
