Explore Paris’s Chinatown

Tour in French only 
 

A true Parisian Chinatown, big brother of the Asian district of Belleville, the Chinese quarter of the 13th arrondissement is full of shops with exotic fruits and products with intriguing names. We also discover a multitude of Asian restaurants—Cambodian, Vietnamese, Laotian, among others—which is why your guide nicknames this area "Indochinatown".

This district is one of the main Chinese centers in Paris, born from the arrival of Asian populations in the 1970s, in a context marked by deindustrialization and large real estate projects. There are also Asian churches and temples, witnesses of this singular history.

Exploring the 13th arrondissement is like taking a real trip without leaving Paris, as the richness of the area is so exotic. However, it can be difficult to know where to start. Specialist and accustomed to the place, Guillaume will guide you in the heart of these busy streets and tell you the story.

He will also share his best addresses of restaurants, selected from his gastronomic blog, recognized for its recommendations of typical, tasty and affordable tables in this district of Paris.
