Butte-aux-Cailles
CultureVisit: ~75 min
Small hill in the 13th arrondissement that keeps a village feel within Paris: narrow cobbled streets, low houses, quiet squares and a strong street art tradition with murals scattered across the façades. Away from the classic tourist routes, it is frequented by Parisians who come for a drink on its terraces and in its cafés with an alternative atmosphere, especially at dusk.
