A fresh breeze of culture! Its the place to eat a Pho soup or a Bo-Bun. Find Tang Frères supermarkets and on a more sacred touch, numerous Buddhist temples.

The BELLEVILLE DISTRICTAburgeoning artist quarter and a dizzying array of cultures and also the home of Paris' second bustling ChinaTown. What started in the 1920's with Greeks, Jews and Armenians led to waves of North Africans, Sub-Saharan Africans and Chinese immigrants settling here. As a result it is a whole delicious diversity of cultures. 

Neighbourhood: 20th Arrondissement  Metro: Belleville

 

 

 

3. The African district
A very lively and unusual district in the 10th arrondissement. Find African specialties and discover typical and traditional stores, material and clothes, African hairdressers. The most African of all Parisian districts looks like a true souk: expect wax cotton workshops, Caribbean restaurants, Tunisian cake shops, undefined exotic groceries, and black beauty parlours...
