The 20th arrondissement of Paris, from Belleville to Père-Lachaise. Google Maps.
The 20th arrondissement was created in 1860 from the annexation of the communes of Belleville, Charonne and Ménilmontant. Former villages of vineyards and open-air taverns clinging to the hills of eastern Paris, these areas became working-class districts in the 19th century, shaped by successive waves of immigration.
Its architecture blends faubourg housing, investment blocks, social housing estates and, on the heights, lanes, staircases and small houses with gardens, remnants of the former villages. The Père-Lachaise cemetery, opened in 1804, takes up a large part of the arrondissement.
Today, the 20th is one of the most multicultural arrondissements in Paris. Belleville and Ménilmontant, long working-class, are undergoing gradual gentrification driven by their neighbourhood life, their artists' studios and their views over the capital. This momentum explains the area's steady rise in value.
The arrondissement attracts first-time buyers and young households looking for affordable prices close to the centre, working people drawn by the neighbourhood life of Belleville and Ménilmontant, and investors betting on continued gentrification. Demand ranges from the rental studio to the family flat, with a strong pull towards the heights offering views over Paris.
