The 4th arrondissement of Paris , the Arrondissement de l'Hôtel de Ville , is one of the oldest parts of the city. Its southern limit is the northern bank of the Seine in the city center. The history of the arrondissement (city district) has its origins in the early settlements on the Seine islands and further in the expansion of the city in the 16th century.
Geographical location
The 4th arrondissement is located directly on the right bank of the Seine . It is bordered by the 1st arrondissement in the west, the 3rd arrondissement in the north and the 11th and 12th arrondissement in the east . The 5th arrondissement is on the opposite side of the Seine . The eastern part of the Île de la Cité and the Île Saint-Louis also belong to the 4th arrondissement.
Quarter in the 4th arrondissement
The 4th arrondissement consists of the following four districts:
- Saint-Merri district
- Saint-Gervais district
- Quartier de l'Arsenal
- Notre-Dame district
According to the official census of the Parisian neighborhoods, these are quarters 13 to 16.
Part of the 4th (and 3rd) arrondissement is also known as the Marais .
population
According to the 1999 census, 30,680 inhabitants are registered in the 160 hectare arrondissement. This corresponds to a population density of 19,172 inhabitants / km² and 2% of the Paris population.
The population has remained stable compared to the other arrondissements of the city center since 1982, after a large population decrease from 1962. The northern part of the 4th arrondissement is the traditional center of the Jewish community of Paris. Today a large community of Orthodox Jews lives here , whose shops and restaurants along the Rue des Rosiers have become a magnet for tourists. The former aristocratic palaces in the Marais were at the beginning of the 20th century a magnet for destitute immigrants from the French provinces and from Eastern Europe, they housed small craft workshops and specialist shops. At the end of the 1960s, with the renovation of the old hôtels particuliers, a development of gentrification began that has now been completely completed. The 4th arrondissement is now inhabited by numerous artists and intellectuals; Foreign millionaires and wealthy investors are increasingly maintaining second homes here, as in other inner-city districts of Paris, which has long been the case on the islands of Île de la Cité and Île Saint-Louis . The arrondissement is also a center of the Parisian LGBT scene.
