MARCADET I BARBÈS
Marked by its cosmopolitan atmosphere, the Marcadet I Barbès district rises between the Ramey village and the Chapelle district.
From Asia to the Middle East, via Eastern Europe and Africa, Marcadet I Barbès is steeped in a rich multicultural atmosphere that embodies the liveliness of the neighbourhood.
At the crossroads of Boulevard de la Chapelle and Magenta, you will find the Louxor, one of the most emblematic cinemas in the capital. Oriented towards an auteur cinema, you will marvel at its neo-Egyptian architecture. Inside, the building is adorned with a treasure trove of mosaics and frescoes representative of Egypt.
Another place of interest in the district, the Institute of Islamic Cultures is a centre for contemporary art and a place of learning about Arab culture. Throughout the year, you can attend its many events, exhibitions and conferences. Not to be missed : its remarkable architecture supported by the work of calligrapher Tarek Benaoum.
A cosmopolitan and dynamic district in full mutation where the good addresses multiply at high speed and of which a great part is classified zone Paris Respire, and thus closed to the vehicles on Saturday !
