BOURSE
Located a stone's throw from the Grands Boulevards, the Bourse district has a chic and epicurean atmosphere.
Once considered the “common place of merchants”, the Bourse de Paris is now the official market for shares in France. Its neoclassical building was designed by the architect Alexandre-Théodore Brongniart, who also created the famous Père-Lachaise cemetery.
At the end of the rue Etienne Marcel, you come across the magnificent Place des Victoires, which is one of the five royal squares of Paris, alongside the Place Vendôme and the Place Dauphine. A symbol of a rich and powerful Paris, it is surrounded by remarkable private mansions dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. For foodies, visit the restaurants of the Galerie Vivienne, or rue Sainte-Anne, the main street in this Japanese quarter of Paris.
The Bourse district is a very central area on a human scale, where walking is preferred whatever the destination !
