Rarely visited by tourists passing through the capital, Paris' 19th arrondissement is the ideal place to relax, with its large green parks, headed by the Parc de La Villette, the Parc des Buttes Chaumont and the Parc de la Butte du Chapeau-Rouge. It's also a district of the capital that reveals to the most discerning walker little hidden villages of incomparable charm, like the Mouzaïa district and the Campagne district in Paris (it's all in the name!).
The La Villette district is also an ideal place to visit with the whole family. Indeed, it's impossible to get bored for a single second in the area, given the program for the young and the curious on offer at the Cité des Sciences, the Cité des Enfants, but also the Cité de la Musique, for the most music-loving among you! And if you feel like it, you can even take a trip to the MK2 Quai de Seine or across the road, to the MK2 Quai de Loire, to have a look around!
