Paris's 19th arrondissement takes us to the heart of a more popular Paris, one that is relatively unknown to tourists. Urban culture takes pride of place here, with numerous works of street art. On sunny days, Parisians of all ages take to the Buttes Chaumont park and the banks of the Canal de l'Ourcq from the Rotonde Stalingrad. On the river, you can enjoy cruises, cruise aboard boats without a license and take advantage of the barge moorings, which host exhibitions, cafés-restaurants and concert halls.
In the Parc de la Villette, you'll find a rich program of events, including the Philharmonie, the family-friendly Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie, the Géode and its cinema, and concert halls including the Zénith. Paris's 19th arrondissement is also home to the Centquatre, a cultural center that presents surprising exhibitions. In addition to these flagship venues, the 19th arrondissement abounds in good deals and neighborhood nuggets offering good value for money, to the delight of gourmets. As you can see, it's a surprisingly lively district, with spots for family outings and festive places to party the night away.
