17th arrondissement
Situated on the right bank of the River Seine, this arrondissement hosts three very active areas: in the extreme southeastern part of the arrondissement, the working-class area around the Place de Clichy is an extension of the Pigalle red-light district and Montmartre; in the southwestern part, the upper-class area around the avenue des Ternes, where the Marché Poncelet is located, is more Haussmannian in style. North of these two neighborhoods, occupying the majority of the arrondissement's land area, is the former village of Batignolles.
