Paris neighbourhoods: The dynamic 10th arrondissement
In this edition of French Connections, Genie Godula and Florence Villeminot continue their tour of Paris with a stop in the 10th arrondissement of Paris. Located in the heart of the Right Bank, it’s one of the most vibrant parts of the capital. A lot of people enter Paris through the dixième, thanks to the city’s two biggest train stations, the Gare de Nord et Gare de l’Est. They, along with the much-loved Canal Saint Martin, have helped turn the 10th into a multicultural melting pot of restaurants, bars, theatres and other hidden gems that capture the essence of real Parisian life.

France’s villages: Life beyond the postcard
This week, we step away from the headlines and out of the city to focus on French villages. There is a deeply rooted romantic image of village life: a stone church, a sleepy square, a small café. But what is life really like in French villages today? Like in many countries, rural France has seen populations decline, and many residents say daily life can be challenging. While some villages rely on their beauty to attract visitors, others stand out for something else entirely – their names. We take a look at some of the quirkiest on the map.
