Explore Belleville with an insider! This off-the-beaten path history tour – although of course food plays an important role! – lets you penetrate the heart and soul of eastern Paris.
You’ll discover the area’s wine-making history, its musical legacies like Edith Piaf, and we’ll contemplate and share opinions on ever-changing street art.
