Paris neighbourhoods: Exploring the massive 17th arrondissement

In this edition of French Connections, Genie Godula and Florence Villeminot continue their tour of Paris with a stop in a massive Parisian arrondissement – the 17th! We get a behind-the-scenes look at Napoléon's iconic Arc de Triomphe and discover the man who helped shape the 17th and most of Paris: Baron Haussmann. Whether it's Haussmannian apartment blocks or a giant glass tower dominating the landscape, the 17th also has some of the most diverse architecture in the French capital. Join us as we take you on a tour of this underrated district of Paris.
