Paris Buttes Chaumont (19ème)

In the mid-19th century, Baron Haussman's architectural reforms paved the way for a new working class neighborhood to be settled in the 19th arrondissement, on the northeastern outskirts of Paris. A quiet family neighborhood with a surprisingly lovely Parc des Buttes Chaumont, the 19ème is now making its best effort at a bohemian revival. The area is rapidly becoming the trendy new hotspot for young professionals and students, and now boasts a growing Asian and North African community. The modern macro-social engineering feat that is the Parc de la Villette is also well worth a visit.
