Guided tour of the Chinese Quarter of the 13th arrondissement Group 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 miss.

The afternoon tours last longer (3h30) than the morning ones (2h30), for more explanations.

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

This 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.
