Belleville

Free

Belleville has long been one of Paris's most culturally mixed neighborhoods, historically home to waves of immigrants and still known for its street art scene, independent galleries, and the panoramic views from the Parc de Belleville. It offers a grittier, more authentic contrast to the postcard image of central Paris.

✨ Reasons to go

1A plaque marks 72 rue de Belleville, the spot where legendary singer Édith Piaf is said to have been born on the pavement in 1915.
2Parc de Belleville sits on the highest natural point in Paris after Montmartre, giving one of the city's best free panoramic views.
3Rue Dénoyez functions as an open-air canvas, with murals and graffiti repainted so often that the street looks different from one visit to the next.
