Going to Paris for a quick city break? Don’t forget the 2nd Arrondissement, the equivalent to The City in London

Paris City Breaks to the 2nd Arrondissement – La Bourse

The Paris 2ieme is where the Bourse stock exchange lives. The district lies on the right bank, between the big Boulevards and the rue Etienne-Marcel. “Everything that exists elsewhere exists in Paris,” wrote Victor Hugo in Les Misérables, and this district proves it to be the case, for example much of the eastern end of the arrondissement Le Sentier is devoted to wholesale outlets of the Paris rag trade district, where thousands of items of clothing are sold in bulk to buyers from clothing stores throughout Europe.
