Beautiful designer studio in downtown ParisNew

Welcome to the 19th arrondissement: A vibrant and inclusive neighborhood! Located on Rue Manin, my apartment gives you a front-row seat to discover one of the most authentic and cosmopolitan neighborhoods in Paris. Here, off the beaten path, you’ll enjoy a peaceful living environment just a stone’s throw from the cultural and LGBTQ+ buzz that now defines northeast Paris.

The Rise of the Queer Scene in the Heart of the 19th The 19th arrondissement has become a hub of queer life in Paris. You’re just a few minutes’ walk from the magnificent Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, home to the must-visit Rosa Bonheur. A true gay-friendly institution, this open-air café surrounded by nature is the perfect spot to grab a drink with friends in a joyful, inclusive, and down-to-earth atmosphere.

For a livelier night out, head to Parc de la Villette to check out À la Folie. This restaurant-club is a true staple of the local LGBTQ+ scene: with its wild queer parties, weekly drag shows, and massive terrace, it’s the go-to spot to celebrate diversity and dance the night away.

My favorite spots in the neighborhood Beyond the nightlife, the neighborhood is full of hidden gems:

For a coffee break: Stroll along the Canal de l’Ourcq, where trendy cafés line the water. It’s the perfect spot to people-watch, read a book, or enjoy Sunday brunch.

Food scene: Rue Manin and its immediate surroundings offer a wide variety of culinary options. Whether you’re in the mood for international cuisine or classic Parisian bistros, you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to dinner.

Shopping & Strolling: For lovers of vinyl records, vintage clothing, or local crafts, the small boutiques in Belleville and the adjacent streets will charm you with their unique character.

Why You’ll Love Staying Here Living on Rue Manin means striking the perfect balance between the tranquility of a residential neighborhood beloved by Parisians and the immediate proximity to a bold, free, and vibrant queer culture. Whether you’re here to explore activist hotspots or simply to soak up the creative energy that flows through our streets, you’ll feel completely at home here.
