The
20th arrondissement (also known as "arrondissement de Ménilmontant"), located on the
Right Bank, is one of the 20
arrondissements of
Paris,
France. It contains the cosmopolitan districts of
Ménilmontant and
Belleville which have welcomed many successive waves of immigration since the middle of the 19th century. Despite this, the arrondissement elected and was represented by the anti-immigration
Front National politician
Jean-Marie Le Pen, as a municipal councillor from 1983 to 1989. Today, Belleville contains the second largest
Chinatown in Paris.
