An Ode to the 4ème Arrondissement

I’ve decided this is my favorite arrondissement. Except for the fact that it’s a little hard to get to from my house, it’s conveniently located right around a lot of my favorite parts of Paris.

There are places like these: (Hôtel de Ville)

(Place des Vosges)

(Oldest house in Paris)

There are views like these: (rue des Rosiers)

(St. Paul)

(Toward the Bastille)

There are posters like these:

And displays in shops like these:

There are opportunities to eat food like these: (Pasteis from Comme à Lisbonne)

(Gelato from Pozzetto)

(Cheesecake from Sacha Finkelsztajn)

(Cupcakes from Berko)

There are restaurants like these: (L’As du Fallafel, best fallafel in the world)

(Le Loir dans le Théière, best lemon meringue pie in the world)

(Breakfast in America, best American breakfast outside of the US)

(Berthillon, best ice cream in the world)

And of course, this amazing building.

Basically, this arrondissement has almost everything you would want in an arrondissement, and therefore I’ve spent a lot of time here and am very happy to. Quatrième for the win!
