The 1st & 2nd Arrondissements

With a wide variety of boutiques, cafés, restaurants, and theaters, a true mix of styles and tastes, the area has something for everyone. Passing just in front of the Église Saint-Eustache, the Rue Montorgueil leads north through the hip Montorgeuil area. Here, the small cobblestone streets are lined with more restaurants and traders than you can count, including many vegan spots.
