The 11th arrondissement has long been known as a lively melting pot where happy locals and tourists alike sip wine and share great food with friends. It’s also a huge draw for students and fans of nightlife, offering a disproportionate number of the city’s hippest bars and clubs. The weekends see the likes of Rue de Lappe, Rue Oberkampf, and rue Jean-Pierre Timbaud transform into nocturnal playgrounds buzzing with party-goers.

The quartier’s unrivalled convivial atmosphere has earned it : the coveted reputation of the arrondissement which best embodies the “joie de vivre” of the city, though the tragedic events of November, 13th.

Many restaurants also worth to go there, from the famous gastronomic Pierresang to the local bistros or hip pizzerias like the East or OberMamma.
