Walking tours in the Belleville neighborhood
The 20th arrondissement and the Belleville neighborhood at its heart are well worth exploring on foot. For this very reason, let me introduce you to two Itineraries:
- A hiking trail following Edith Piaf: The famous singer was born in the Belleville district and lived here for quite a few years. Anyone who wants to understand the sources of inspiration for her poetry must take a walk here. A must-do route for fans of the singer, because if you do it, then, as the famous song says, you will not regret anything (Je ne regrette rien).
