The People Belleville

Located in the heart of the artistic 11th Arrondissement, The People Belleville (formerly known as Les Piaules) is a vibrant, “new-generation” hostel that masterfully bridges the gap between a boutique hotel and a social backpacker hub. Housed in a beautifully restored Art Deco building, it is famous for its panoramic rooftop terrace which offers one of the best unobstructed views of the Parisian skyline, including the Sacré-Cœur. The property features a variety of accommodations, from high-spec shared dormitories equipped with “Plumard” bunk beds—complete with privacy curtains, integrated power plugs, and reading lights—to stylish private rooms with en-suite bathrooms. The ground floor is home to a lively Parisian-style pub that serves local craft beers and French specialties, serving as a melting pot for travelers and neighborhood locals alike. With its prime location just steps from the Belleville Metro hub, guests are perfectly positioned to explore the nearby Parc de Belleville, trendy Canal Saint-Martin, and the city’s famous street art scene.
