11th District

The 11th district is one of the most lively and festive arrondissements in Paris. Located between the places of the Bastille, the Republic, and the Nation, it is also the most densely populated. Among the most famous monuments and sites, the Opera Bastille, The Winter Circus, the Père Lachaise cemetery stand out, as well as the Canal Saint-Martin, where in summer and winter you can picnic on its banks. Numerous courtyards and passages such as the Golden Star courtyard, the Three Brothers court, the Lhomme passage, and the Industrial court remain from the time when the Faubourg Saint-Antoine was the mecca of furniture makers. Likewise, hidden cities like the Cité du Figuier and the Cité Durmar with their cobbled streets, colorful houses, pretty glass roofs, and plants in abundance give the impression of having left Paris. The Oberkampf district, where life is teeming day and night, is the cradle of the exquisite Passage St. Maur and Cité du Figuier. Unequaled, the 11th district of Paris has 25 metro stations.
