20th Arrondissement is home to districts of Ménilmontant and Belleville. The area has traditionally been very cosmopolitan, indeed Belleville has the second largest Chinatown in Paris. The 20th Arrondissement is arguably most well known for the Père Lachaise Cemetery where there are buried many famous people including: composers (such as Frédéric Chopin and Gioacchino Rossini), writers (including Oscar Wilde and Marcel Proust), painters (Camille Pissarro, Jacques-Louis David, and Jim Morrison (rock singer from The Doors). There is a good range of budget hotel accommodation to suit different visitors including 3 and 2 star properties such as Armstrong Hotel, Timhotel Nation, Citéa Philippe Auguste, Mama Shelter, and Hipotel Eden Hotel.

Considered by many to be a “great hotel at a great price,” this property is one of the better deals in Paris. Although the area is not really considered a tourist destination, the two-minute walk to the subway can take guests to any location in the city. Nice touches like flat-screen LCD televisions, and WiFi available for patrons in all the rooms. The nearby Marche aux Puces de Montreuil market is an excellent place to pick up some Parisian-style clothes at a fraction of the price.
Provides 2- to 6-day pass packages that include free unlimited use of all the public transport services inside Paris and the inner suburbs (within 3 zones), free access to more than 60 museums and monuments, a free Seine river cruise, special discounts and offers for additional Paris attractions, a free Paris street/metro/bus map, and 30 days access to online French lessons.
The 20th arrondissement of Paris lies to the east of the centre and represents an old working-class area now in rapid transformation. The main drawing card here for tourists is the Père-Lachaise Cemetery, though, for travellers who are interested in music and culture, this relatively gritty area is probably going to be one of your main night-crawling areas.
The 20th arrondissement is also internationally known for hosting the Père Lachaise Cemetery where one can find the burials of many famous composers (such as Frédéric Chopin and Gioacchino Rossini), writers (including Oscar Wilde and Marcel Proust), painters (Camille Pissarro, Jacques-Louis David, and others), and the rock singer Jim Morrison of The Doors.
