The 20th arrondissement occupies the right bank of the Seine and encompasses four quarters including the cosmopolitan Belleville neighbourhood. Père-Lachaise cemetery, the Mur des Fédérés, and Parc de Belleville are among its principal sites. The district holds considerable historical significance through its monuments and memorials, though leisure attractions remain modest.
