Taking a stroll through the Sentier and Bourse neighborhoods in Paris's 2nd arrondissement? Follow the guide so you don't miss a thing!

The Sentier district is one of the capital' s liveliest and most central neighborhoods. Originally, in the Middle Ages, it was considered one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in Paris, but things have changed!

Over the years, the district has become the epicenter of textile stores and wholesalers, then, as the years progressed, home to numerous press groups, including AFP; businesses linked to the economy, with the Palais Brongniart, formerly known as the Palais de la Bourse, a stone's throw away; and even more recently, startups enjoying the lively neighborhood life and central location, which have taken up residence in these few streets.

The Sentier district is also popular with Parisians, with its many food shops and grocery stores of all kinds, restaurants and bars with terraces, covered passageways with the charm of yesteryear, and pedestrianized cobblestone streets, including the not-to-be-missed Rue Montorgueil. A neighborhood on a human scale that's sure to surprise you.

To find out more, follow the guide!
