Life in the 19th arrondissement
Working-class, green and affordable: the Buttes-Chaumont (the city's finest park), the Bassin de la Villette (swimming and open-air cinema in summer), the Canal de l'Ourcq to stroll. Well served (M5, 7, 11, RER E at Rosa Parks), practical for work despite an outer-Paris image. Daily life offers lots of space, nature and life for the price — one of the best value areas in Paris for a family or tight budget. Some pockets towards Stalingrad stay rough: again, it comes down to the exact street. A rising area, green and lively, for those who put space and budget before centrality.
