The 13th arrondissement of Paris
This arrondissement is divided into four administrative districts: Salpêtrière, Gare, Maison-Blanche and Croulebarbe. Of little architectural interest itself, the place d’Italie leads to the arrondissement’s main sights, including the Salpêtrière hospital, a remarkable architectural ensemble in pure Louis XIV style with its vast, characteristic chapel.

The feel of the district
The 13th is probably the most contrasted arrondissement in Paris: the Olympiades towers and the Asian quarter on one side, the cobbled streets and little houses of the Butte-aux-Cailles on the other, the National Library and Station F along the Seine.
It is also where Paris has changed most over the last twenty years, with the Paris Rive Gauche development. Supply is wide, from a studio in a tower to a small faubourg building, and price gaps between districts are among the most marked in the capital.
