13th Arrondissement (13e)

On the Left Bank, 13e is home to the biggest Chinatown in Paris, as well as lots of street art and the National Library of France. Take in the great views of the Siene from the floating public aquatic pool center, Piscine Joséphine Baker. It’s open year-round. Here you can also find outdoor food markets and some excellent Asian and non-Asian restaurants. Overall, it is more of a local neighborhood than one holding many tourist attractions.
