Arrondissement 10

95,911 people live in district 10.  70.4% of them were born in metropolitan France and 19.8% are non-European immigrants.  If you would like to stay in district 10 in a two star hotel you could stay at Republique Hotel for €107 for a double room per night.  There is a nice fanprix in the middle of the district if you are looking for a place to buy groceries.

 
A Dozen Eggs: € 2,30
1 liter of Milk: € 1,82
Steak p/kg: € 19,90

Tourist Attractions:
District 10 is one of those special districts where you can find a canal running through it.  It may not be as touristy as the sine but there are some cute shops along the way and interesting bridges. 



Amazing Architectural Attractions:
The Monument a la Republique is a gorgeous statue that you can’t miss.  Just take the metro to Republique and step outside and it will hit you in the face, figuratively.  It marks the meeting point of the 3rd, 10th and 11th districts.  If it wasn’t already obvious, the images of the statue represent the republic of France and district 10’s government building stands directly behind it.


Today’s Business Shout Out!
If you’ve been missing America, like American clothing and want to buy something made in the good old USA then you can at American Apparel! This store is like a piece of sunshine on a cloudy day and everything is made in the United States, it even says so on the front window. 





The Most Interesting Thing I Found:
I’m not going to lie, I didn’t find district 10 all that interesting.  It had some beautiful places and the gorgeous Monument a la Republique but other than that I wasn’t in love.  So, the most interesting thing that I probably found was a school playground next to the canal.  The playground was not only interesting because it was merely a cement area with a graffiti wall and a strange looking tree in the middle but it was also interesting because of how many 10-13 year old kids were smoking.  But that’s just Paris I suppose. 




I hope you get a chance to see some of the beautiful things that lie in district 10!  Au revoir!
