{{Arrondissements of Paris}}

The 11th arrondissement of Paris (XIe arrondissement) is one of the 20 arrondissements of the capital city of France. In spoken French, the arrondissement is referred to as le onzième ({{IPA|fr|ɔ̃zjɛm|}}; "the eleventh").

The arrondissement, called Popincourt, is situated on the right bank of the River Seine. It is one of the most densely populated urban districts of any European city. In 2020, it had a population of 144,292. It is the best-served Parisian arrondissement in terms of number of Métro stations, at 25.[https://www.pariszigzag.fr/paris-au-quotidien/savez-vous-quel-arrondissement-compte-le-plus-de-stations-de-metro "Savez-vous quel arrondissement compte le plus de stations de métro ?], www.pariszigzag.fr {{in lang|fr}}.

Its borders are marked by three large squares: the Place de la République to the northwest, the Place de la Bastille to the southwest, as well as the Place de la Nation to the southeast.

Description

The 11th arrondissement is a varied and engaging area. To the west lies the Place de la République, which is linked to the Place de la Bastille, in the east, by the sweeping, tree-lined Boulevard Richard-Lenoir, with its large markets and children's parks. The Place de la Bastille and the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine are full of fashionable cafés, restaurants, as well as nightlife; they also contain a range of boutiques and galleries. The Oberkampf district to the north is another popular area for nightlife. The east is more residential, with more wholesale commerce, while the areas around Boulevard Voltaire and Avenue Parmentier are livelier crossroads for the local community. In recent years this area has emerged as one of the trendiest parts of Paris.

On 13 November 2015, the arrondissement was the site (among others) of coordinated Islamic shootings and bombings, particularly at the Bataclan theatre, which left 130 dead. About 20 years earlier, another attack had taken place.{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=vh8xDwAAQBAJ&q=lyon+bombing+1995+Villeurbanne&pg=PT96|title = The Globalization of Terror: The Challenge of Al-Qaida and the Response of the International Community|isbn = 9781351482165|last1 = Shay|first1 = Shaul|date = 5 July 2017}}
