As dynamic as it is eclectic, the 11th arrondissement is often considered one of the capital's liveliest. Historically a working-class district, it has evolved over the years to become a focal point of the Parisian arts and culture scene.
With its lively nightlife, the 11th arrondissement is particularly popular for its bars, restaurants and cafés, especially in the Bastille and Oberkampf districts, which are packed with addresses of all kinds, whether you're looking for a quiet evening in a good restaurant or a wild night out in a bar or club.
Constantly evolving, the 11th arrondissement also has a long and storied history, as it was the scene of important events during the French Revolution and the Paris Commune in 1871. The Bastille prison, destroyed in 1789, once stood here!
Popular with Parisians, the 11th arrondissement is also popular with tourists. Are you interested in staying in the area? Then check out our recommendations for hotels, youth hostels and accommodation in Paris' 11th arrondissement!
