Paris neighbourhoods: Discovering the 13th arrondissement and Chinatown • FRANCE 24 English

In this French Connections Plus, Genie Godula and Florence Villeminot continue their tour of Paris with a stop in the lesser known 13th arrondissement. It sits down in the southeastern corner of the city and was annexed into the capital in 1860 by Napoleon the 3rd. Most Parisians today know the 13th for its enormous Chinatown or its famous animation school Les Gobelins. But the area has a lot more to offer and there’s an interesting backstory to how it became the 13th.

  1. 13 th is one of my favorite borough, I prefer Butte aux Cailles over Butte Montmartre. But don't say it too much, it's better as it is today and it's more crowded than 10 years ago.

    Chinese part has good restaurants, asian supermarkets and a nice atmosphere but it's not very "sexy".

  2. I love your channel, I always learn something new, I've been coming to Paris for many years, and there is always something to discover, merci beaucoup 🙂
