Twenty arrondissements, twenty characters

Paris is divided into twenty arrondissements that spiral out from the Louvre, and each keeps its own rhythm: the Marais and its boutiques, Belleville and its Chinese and North African cooking, Saint-Germain and its bookshops, the market at Aligre. Many independent shops still close on Sundays and for part of August.
