Wonderful tour of Belleville, stories, history, street art and where to eat along the way

Allison was a great guide, full of information and the history of Belleville. I live in Paris and learned a lot, about sinkholes from old quarries under the streets, the working class anarchist origins of the neighbourhood, eighteenth century nightlife, bands of brigands and recent raves in abandoned railway tunnels. Allison had pictures and maps to illustrate and she has lived in the neighbourhood for years and had great anecdotes from people she knew who remembered the quarter from the old days. It was a wonderful way to discover the neighbourhood, all sorts of curious corners, local street artists and hidden bridges and a beautiful park I had never been to. Very highly recommended.
