Arrondissement 11

District 11 has 152,744 residents.  74.5% of these residents are natural born citizens and 15.7% are non-European immigrants.  This district is a bit mellower than your everyday Paris but it does not skimp on beauty.  If you want to stay in this district then you could stay at the two star, Hotel International for €69 per night in a double room. Even though this isn’t the most scenic district, this is one of the cheapest hotels that I have found in Paris.  You can find it on 6, Rue Auguste Barbier.  Of course if you need to go to the grocery story you can find your local marche.

Tourist Attraction:

Cirque d'Hiver is Paris’s very own circus.  If you are like me and love circus’s, I went to one in January and loved it, then this is the place to be.  Even if you don’t want to spend the €30-40 to go then you should at least go see it because it is a beautiful and fun little building in and of itself. 

Amazing Architectural Attractions:

So I’ve posted about more churches and their beauty than I want to count but honestly they just cannot define the French style more perfectly.  This gothic style cathedral is no exception and should be recognized for its beauty. 

Today’s Business Shout Out!

Today goes to another one of those American businesses that have lost their way and come back into our hearts, Dominos.  Domino’s Pizza has gone through a few changes over the years, from being one of the most hated pizzerias to revamping and tasting rather delicious.  However, you probably should eat some French pizza while you can because it’s even better. 

The Most Interesting Thing I Found:

As you may know, Paris has a few canals cutting through its streets.  I personally like these canals because I think it gives the city a little Venetian feel.  However, in district 11 there is a manmade dam that cuts off the canal and turns into street right next to it.  I guess people do it all the time, New Orleans pushes back the ocean to exist, many places create dams and reservoirs by controlling water but it was awfully blunt against the other scenery of Paris and I thought it was pretty interesting. 

I hope you enjoy the sleepy little town of district 11!  Au revoir!
