Paris’ 10th arrondissement is a well connected district, but is not as renowned for its historic monuments as other neighbourhoods in the city. Formerly a very religious area, the 10th arrondissement does feature several ancient churches that are interesting to visit. Gare du Nord and Gare de l’Est are located nearby which is convenient for those who commute long distances on a daily basis. You can also catch high-speed trains to different destinations in Europe from these stations. This multicultural district is a bohemian and urban paradise with theatres, funky cafés and unique boutiques scattered across Boulevard de Strasbourg, en route to Gare du Nord. It is compulsory to visit the must-see ‘Little Bombay’, or the Passage Brady part of the 10th arrondissement which is full of oriental restaurants and a variety of shops. With easy access to the city centre, this is a fantastic choice for students or professionals who are seeking inexpensive housing options in a practical neighbourhood. Fun fact: The banks of the Canal Saint-Martin feature in the iconic Amélie movie!
