Ladies and gents, I give you, Belleville (from Ⓜ Pyrenées all the way down rue du Faubourg du Temple)! I was loitering, waiting for Krung Thep to open for early dinner, (which was well worth the wait, tho the 10€ price tag on a cuplette of Tom Kha Gai is smiling robbery, no matter how delish) and thus occupied myself with a wandering bit of camera time along this hilltop Chinatown. Alors~
Belleville’s Chinatown is actually an ethnic mix, as is illustrated by the illuminated shawarma meat tower above. Looks like a Chinese lantern, no? More pictures here.
