Père-Lachaise Cemetery

Although nostalgia buffs sometimes head here to visit Piaf’s former neighborough, Ménilmontant-Belleville, it has been almost totally bulldozed and rebuilt since the bad old days when she grew up there.
In the Belleville neighborhood you can discover different types of architecture. Why not bask in the sun in the Parc Belleville, with its numerous lakes and fountains. You can loose yourself in the maze of winding litte lanes which characterize the whole area.

Info

This district contains many Muslims, (turbaned man selling dates and nuts on the street presents a scene directly out of northern Africa), and many of Paris’s Jewish community of whom fled their former homes in Algeria or Tunisia.
