In Paris, every arrondissement has its own vibe. On the Left Bank of the Seine, Paris 15 is one of those multifaceted districts, halfway between a Paris of modern times and a historic Paris. For if the 15e arrondissement is one of the most densely populated in the City of Light, that doesn't stop it from revealing a real neighborhood life.
One of the highlights lies near the Porte de Versailles, where France's second-largest exhibition park is located: Paris Expo. Between its expo-events and its international trade shows, its rich program draws many visitors each year.
For those who want to go green, the 15th arrondissement also houses the Parc André-Citroën, a wonderful spot to stroll on sunny days. And for food lovers, keep an eye out as you wander—you might well stumble upon one of the many neighborhood gems blooming there!
