Butte aux Cailles
Butte aux Cailles, which translates to “quail’s hill” is a tiny area that offers endless Parisian charm. The area gathers a very vibrant, youthful population at its many lively bars and restaurants since it has recently become a more leisure area. Conversely, it still holds much of its “village” atmosphere since it was only recently annexed to the city. There is often a push and pull going on here between those who love the liveliness of it and those who miss the peace and quiet associated with the area.
