This is definitely the Paris you won't find in a guidebook. Parisians loves this area because of its bohemian lifestyle (this is an upcoming district in Northeastern Paris). La Belleville is home to the Ateliers d'Artistes de Belleville, a community art gallery that represents over 150 local artists.
La Belleville is a unique place to feel the working-class atmosphere of the city, as well as to meet the Chinese community of Paris. The top of the Parc de Belleville is along with Montmartre, the best location to enjoy Paris skyline.
