Real estate in Paris's 2nd arrondissement consists of apartments in period and Haussmannian buildings, as well as lofts created in former business premises. The smallest arrondissement in the capital stretches from Opéra to the Sentier, around the Bourse and the covered passages.
Galerie Vivienne, Passage des Panoramas and Passage Choiseul date from the 19th century. Around these passages, period buildings contain apartments with parquet flooring, mouldings and fireplaces. Some properties overlook paved courtyards away from the street.
In the Sentier, former textile workshops and commercial premises have been converted into lofts and apartments. These properties often have large open-plan spaces and high ceilings. Near Opéra and Rue de la Paix, Haussmannian buildings contain apartments with adjoining reception rooms.
The Palais Brongniart, the former Paris stock exchange, marks the centre of the arrondissement. Rue Montorgueil, much of it pedestrianised, is known for its food shops and cafés. The Richelieu site of the Bibliothèque nationale de France and the theatres of the Grands Boulevards add to the cultural life of the 2nd arrondissement.
