Located to theeast of the capital, it's a popular, lively district, far from the capital's must-see monuments ... and therefore far from the crowds!
In fact, it's a great option for your future stay in Paris if you want to visit the capital while enjoying quiet accommodation. One of the most emblematic sites in the 20th arrondissement is without doubt the Père-Lachaise cemetery, home to the graves of such famous figures as Oscar Wilde, Jim Morrison and Édith Piaf.
The Ménilmontant district is another highlight of the 20th arrondissement. A former working-class neighborhood, it has retained its authentic charm while becoming a popular spot for artists and creative types. Its sloping streets, bars and cafés, and small art galleries give it a relaxed atmosphere, as does the Belleville district, shared with the 19th arrondissement, a veritable cultural melting pot where people from diverse backgrounds rub shoulders.
With its many concert halls and small independent theaters, the 20th arrondissement caters to all types of travelers. Here are the best addresses for hotels, youth hostels and accommodation in the district.
