    GLOBETROTTING IN GREATER PARIS - FROM ASIA TO THE MIDDLE EAST, EUROPE AND AFRICA!

    World cultures are deeply rooted in the history of Greater Paris. The central Marais, Louvre and Faubourg Saint-Denis districts are snapshots of oriental European, Far Eastern and African cultures. The heart of the 13th district is steeped in Chinese and Indo-Chinese culture where Choisy and Ivry avenues and Tolbiac street form the "Triangle d'Or" [Golden Triangle]. The same goes for Ivry-sur-Seine and Vitry-sur-Seine. The city beats in tune with the celebrations, businesses and markets of the Italian locals in Nogent-sur-Marne, the Portuguese in Champigny-sur-Marne, the South Americans in Fontenay-aux-Roses and the Armenians in Issy-les-Moulineaux. Several tours on multi-culturalism are available. On the menu: cookery workshops and market-cooking demonstrations, encounters with residents, artists, craftsmen and women, and temple and cultural site tours.
