A walk through the villages of the 11th arrondissement, made up of squares, bars and shops. A largely industrial area in former times, these days the 11th arrondissement is one of the liveliest and most alternative neighbourhoods in Paris. It is made up of a number of quiet mini-districts with a village feel and charmingly old-fashioned shops. The district is creative and dynamic, with numerous craftsmen’s workshops and works of street art, which are everywhere you turn in the Oberkampf area. The 11th also has a wide variety of restaurants, bars and leisure venues. A walk from Bastille to Père Lachaise via République and Charonne takes you through a non-touristy part of Paris.
