2nd arrondissement
In the eclectic 2nd arrondissement, textile wholesalers in the Sentier area give way to hip stores around the Rue Montorgueil street market. Quirky boutiques line old-world covered walkways like Galerie Vivienne, while foodies troop to Passage des Panoramas and the ramen eateries in the city's main Japanese quarter along Rue Sainte-Anne. The gilded Opéra Comique theater showcases operettas.
