Paris’s 13th arrondissement holds the title of one of the friendliest neighbourhoods in the City of Light. Overlooked by many tourists, this arrondissement is primarily residential, well-connected and perfect for those seeking peace and leafy areas within an urban environment. The 13th arrondissement is known for its Chinatown which can be found to the south of Rue de Tolbiac. Gare d'Austerlitz can be found in the northern part of this district, a train station that enables easy access to central and south-western France, Spain and Portugal, rendering this area an ideal choice for those who commute to other cities. Not sure what to do in this district? Take the time to relax in one of the many cafés, indulge in delectable oriental cuisine, become acquainted with the locals or meander through the picturesque Square René-Le Gall rose garden. Still not convinced? Hop onto one of many metro lines that pass through this arrondissement - the city centre and plenty of other areas can be reached in a matter of minutes! Cultural fact: Mcdonald’s in Chinatown is even designed in an oriental style!
