20th arrondissement of Paris, Municipal district in northeastern Paris, France.
The 20th arrondissement spans 5.98 square kilometers, containing four distinct quarters: Belleville, Saint-Fargeau, Père-Lachaise, and Charonne, with a population of 194,994 residents.
The district emerged in 1860 through the consolidation of Belleville town, Charonne village, and Ménilmontant hamlet, marking a major expansion of Paris boundaries.
Père Lachaise Cemetery holds the graves of numerous international figures, including Chopin, Wilde, Morrison, and Piaf, making it the most frequently visited cemetery worldwide.
The district offers more economical accommodation options compared to central Paris districts, with direct metro connections to major tourist destinations through lines 2, 3, and 11.
La Campagne à Paris presents a collection of small houses with gardens built between 1907 and 1928, creating a village setting within the urban landscape.
