You will see quaint villages, row houses and beautiful views in the course of this walk. Originally a village perched on the side of a hill, Belleville was annexed to Paris during Haussmann’s large-scale renovations in 1870, but has retained its picturesque charm. Leave the bustle of the city behind as you explore this district straddling the 19th and 20th arrondissements, where you will see neighbourhoods with a village feel, attractive row houses and some beautiful views. Start your getaway at the Pelleport metro station.
