Bastille isn’t one of the prettiest parts of Paris and the Place de la Bastille is often clogged with traffic. Yet Bastille certainly has its appeal: its one of the liveliest neighbourhoods in the city and has a great selection of designer boutiques, fairly inexpensive bars, and restaurants and bistros presided over by some of Paris’s most exciting young chefs. Whether your tastes run to contemporary art, indie rock or avant-garde happenings, the area also has a vibrant arts scene anchored by the mammoth Opéra Bastille.
