Where to stay in Belleville
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Rue de Belleville is the spine. Most of the neighbourhood lies along it. A room on or near it keeps the Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Belleville close, on whichever side of the street the address falls, 19th or 20th.
The rest of Belleville lies in the 10th and 11th arrondissements, away from the main street.

About Belleville
What are the main landmarks in Belleville?
Villa Belleville and the art museum Castillo/Corrales stand in Belleville. The Pavillon Carré de Baudouin, a cultural centre, and the Maison de l'air are close by, and the Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Belleville carries the neighbourhood's name. Toward Ménilmontant stands the Église Notre-Dame-de-la-Croix de Ménilmontant.
What is the history of Belleville?
Mont-Chalier is the official name on the record. Belleville is the name in common use, and the split the neighbourhood carries across four arrondissements of Paris is the closest thing the entry gives to a history of how the place was absorbed. No founding year appears.
What the record leaves instead are its buildings: the Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Belleville, the Pavillon Carré de Baudouin and the Musée Édith Piaf, each fixed to the ground the Rue de Belleville runs through.
Where is Belleville?
The Rue de Belleville runs along the boundary of the 19th and 20th arrondissements, and the rest of Belleville spills into the 10th and 11th.
