The People Belleville, the trendy youth hostel in the 11th arrondissement

After the People (formerly les Piaules) Nation, Bercy and Marais, in the Belleville district, hostel the People Belleville offers travelers looking forfriendly addresses to stay in one of Paris's most dynamic neighborhoods.

Trendy, cosmopolitan and young, it's the perfect neighborhood to go out, meet people or have a drink on a terrace, with many points of interest in the area just a 15-minute walk away. Belleville park, Père Lachaise cemetery, Buttes-Chaumont park or the Canal Saint-Martin: discover this friendly hostel. Please note that the address has a rooftop with a breathtaking view of the capital, but only accessible to hotel guests.

Behind this concept are three childhood friends, Matthieu, Damien and Louis, who, after spending over 300 nights in youth hostels around the world, decided to take on a new challenge by opening their own youth hostel.

Showcasing French savoir-faire to foreign tourists, Les Piaules offers quality accommodation, with decor by Kristian Gavoille, a rooftop overlooking the capital and a selection of French products available at the Bar.

Housed in an art-deco building in Belleville, Les Piaules offers a total of 162 beds in a mix of dormitories and double rooms, plus four rooftop rooms. You can opt for a bed in an eight-person dormitory (shared bathroom), a bed in a six-person dormitory (shared bathroom), a bed in a four-person dormitory (shared bathroom) or a private double room (for two, four, six or eight people).

Some dormitories are reserved exclusively for women; simply select one of them when you make your reservation. The rooftop view is only available in certain rooms, and is available at extra cost!
