Edith Piaf's birthplace still very much alive with colorful culture

PARIS: Tourists looking for old Paris charm and a taste of La Vie en Rose should head to Belleville, a largely overlooked part of the city and the birthplace of Edith Piaf.
Only five Metro stops away from Paris' town hall, Belleville has retained much of its working-class identity and still bubbles with concert halls, theaters and bars some of which Piaf once sang in.
Add to the mix successive waves of immigrants and young creative types out drinking, eating and carousing, and you get a funky atmosphere similar to New York's East Village.
It offers much for the visitor, not least a panoramic view over Paris that rivals Montmartre but is blissfully free of peddlers and hawkers.
Yet few tourists stray farther than Pere Lachaise cemetery, burial place for celebrities including Oscar Wilde, Jim Morrison and Piaf herself. Even the success of La Vie en Rose, which won actress Marion Cotillard a best-actress Academy Award and rekindled interest in Piaf's life, isn't drawing the masses to the neighborhood
