The 2nd arrondissement of Paris, also known as Bourse, is a central district famed for its cultural attractions and commercial activities.
This district was established by Napoleon III during the reconstruction of Paris in the 19th century.
Home to the Palais Brongniart, originally the stock exchange and now an events venue, it's a key symbol of economic history.
Known for its covered passages, the 2nd arrondissement offers picturesque routes lined with shops and cafes.
It features the smallest area but one of the densest in terms of business with bustling streets like Rue Réaumur.
