Description
From the construction by the good King Dagobert of the small Saint-Martin bridge in the year 629 (on the site of the current the arrival of the new RER Eole station), the 10th arrondissement has not stopped transforming itself over the centuries.
Borough of the four suburbs (Faubourgs du Temple, Saint-Martin, Saint-Denis and Poissonnière) it has often been the scene of great historical shootings.
But the 10th is also the district of theaters and the Grand Boulevards where, at the beginning of the century the French cancan was born. Its two train stations, its four hospitals, its two triumphal arches, its canal, its former convents are today the witnesses of the rich past of the capital.
On December 31, 1859, a law was passed extending the boundaries of Paris and increasing the number of arrondissements to twenty from the previous twelve. The 5th became the 10th arrondissement and took on its current boundaries including a district of the former 3rd arrondissement located between the Faubourg Saint-Denis and the Faubourg Poissonnière.
The 10th arrondissement covers 286 hectares and has a population of 90,000 (the equivalent of a city like Avignon), bears the original and official name of enclos Saint-Laurent. Administratively, it includes four districts (Saint-Vincent de Paul, Porte Saint-Denis, Porte Saint-Martin and Hôpital Saint-Louis), districts with surprisingly varied communities.
