When you think of Paris, you probably think of centuries-old buildings, rococo palaces, and historic landmarks, right? Well, that's not what the French capital is all about. At least, not for this day and age anyway. Paris is as contemporary a city as the likes of New York and Shanghai, even though most of the structures here are historic and classic. Take the 10th arrondissement, for instance! Now here's a part of the city that's in the now! One of the hippest areas in Paris, it's a perfect place for those who want to for today to call home!
A Trendy Arrondissement
As already mentioned, the 10th arrondissement is one of the trendier parts of Paris. Think of a hipster haven within a classical and historic city and you've got the gist of what this part of the French capital is all about. Open cafés where people work away on their laptops, street performers playing the songs on today's top charts, street art that's far from what you'd expect in
the Louvre, and more! These are what define and make the 10th arrondissement stand-out against the others. And for some, they're good enough reasons to choose this area as their new home!
