Arrondissement 15

The Paris 2009 census says that 236,491 people live in district 15 making it the most populated district in Paris.  80% of the population are metropolitan born Parisians and 10.2% are non-European immigrants.  If you are interested in staying at a two star hotel in Paris then you could stay at the Hotel Korner on 54, Rue Falguiere.  A double room ranges from €95-200 per night.  As always, near a hotel there is a market where you can find your basic needs and lots of chocolate. 


A dozen Eggs: € 2,47
1 liter of Milk: € 1,06
Steak p/kg: € 24,00
 
Tourist Attraction:
Musee de la Poste or the Post Office Museum is an interesting attraction to see in the 15th district.  I sent a few postcards home from Paris so the post office is pretty exciting to me.  It took less than a week to get from Paris to America and it was really fun but it is sad that the post office is a dying business so you should go check it out while post offices still exist. 



Amazing Architectural Attractions:
The Montparnasse Tower located at 33 Avenue du Main, is the tallest building in Paris and has the best overall view of the city.  People like to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower to see Paris but from this tower you can see the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe and all your favorite places.  It’s gorgeous at night and you can see all of the lines of symmetry through the heart of Paris, it’s definitely worth checking out. 

 
Today’s Business Shout Out!
SNCF is the railway company of France.  If you are traveling all over France by train then this is the place you will go to buy your tickets.  Of course you purchase your tickets online but you will go through this business. 







The Most Interesting Thing I Found:
The Novancia Business School on Rue Armand Moisant is kind of a strange building.  It consists of an old, French style building but has an extension building attached to it made up of colored glass panels.  The contrast is a little bit strange but mostly it brings more color to Paris. 



I hope you enjoyed district 15! Au revoir!
