Guided tour of the Chinese Quarter of the 13th arrondissement Activity

Yes, Paris has its own Chinatown! A guided tour, as a team, of Paris' 13th arrondissement Chinatown!

In the middle of buildings with Parisian architecture, in the company of a Vietnamese guide, this guided tour of the largest Chinese district in Paris, and also in Europe, will decipher Asian culture in a handful of hours that you won't see pass.

Sometimes there are sitting breaks to develop certain subjects. As a result, the distance covered is rather short.

It is more of a cultural outing on Asia than a simple tourist visit of a district!

Accompanied by a Vietnamese guide, who has been in France since 1972 and lives in this "Chinese" district, which she has known since she was a teenager, this guided tour takes place in a small group, quietly, casually and in good humour!

You will mainly be told about :

- 2 Buddhist temples, with many explanations of what we see there + a church for Chinese Catholics

- 3 monumental murals

- the new "door" of this Chinatown

- the different reasons why this district became Asian

- asian traditions

- good addresses of Asian restaurants

Good to know:

Photographs are possible in places of worship.

Bring shoes that are easy to remove for one of the two Buddhist temples.

In case of bad weather, don't worry: half of the tour is indoors.
