182,032 people live in district 13. 78.4% of this district’s residents are metropolitan
born Parisians and 11.5% non-European immigrants. If you want to stay in this district in a
nice two star hotel then you could choose Hotel les Gobelins at 9, Rue des
Gobelins. You can stay in a double room
for €139 per night. And as per usual
there is a market not too far if you are wanting to buy some groceries.
A dozen Eggs: € 2,52
1 liter of Milk: € 1,32
Steak p/kg: € 15,95
Tourist Attractions:
I know I post a lot about museums but the Manufacture
Nationale des Gobelins is yet another awesome option for your tour of
Paris. It is the royal museum of
tapestries. Tapestries used to be a
significant decoration in castles and for royals and you can see some amazing
works of tapestry art here. And it is
more than just a museum; there are skilled artists that still work there
creating tapestries.
There is a law in Paris that buildings cannot be built
above nine stories without a special permit and it is really difficult to get
one which is why there are so few skyscrapers.
However in this district I found four buildings above the nine story
limit all in a row which is unusual.
Today’s Business Shout Out!
This goes out to the UGC Gobelins Movie Theatre! The movie theatres in Paris are really fun
because you can go to one in English with French subtitles. You can’t do that for every movie but you can
find a decent amount of movies to see if you are up for that. Hey it’s kind of fun to say you saw a movie
in Paris.
The Most Interesting Thing I Found:
There was an artist event going on when I was down in
dear old district 13 where artists were painting pianos! I don’t know about you but I have always
wanted to paint a piano!
I hope you find some joy in district 13! Au revior!
