Do you love France? Please note that two French neighborhoods have been voted among the coolest in the world by Time Out.
Like every year, Time Out magazine establishes its ranking of the most fashionable neighborhoods around the world. This year, not one but two French neighborhoods stood out, as reported on Instagram @neo.mediafr. But which ones?
The trendiest neighborhoods of 2025 according to Time Out
In 59 countries, dozens of local experts specializing in gastronomy, activities, dynamism or culture then crisscrossed the neighborhoods of the largest cities in the world. All this data was collected, then shared and analyzed, in order to compose an objective and precise classification. of the trendiest neighborhoods in the world.
Among the criteria used, we find the number of bars, but also their atmosphere, the restaurants, the various places of life, the plurality of the cultural offer, but also, accessibility in terms of transport or even price. The overall atmosphere is also a central point of these analyses.
In first place in this highly anticipated ranking each year, we find Jimbocho, an ultra-trendy district of the city of Tokyo. We also find Borgerhout, at Antwerp in Belgium, or even Barra Funda in the Brazilian city from Sao Paulo.
Here are the French neighborhoods that are in this ranking
In 21st place in this trendy ranking, we find a city in the south of France. And even the “capital” of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region: Marseille. It is neither the Old Port nor Cours Julien which were voted the most trendy. But rather the Endoume district, in the 7th arrondissement, between the Old Port and the Prado.
An authentic, lively, lively and warm neighborhood. The weather is always nice and the views over Frioul (and sometimes even Corsica) are breathtaking. If you don’t know this Marseille district, we can only advise you to go there.
But another French quarter steals the show in Endoume. This is Ménilmontant, in Paris. A lively neighborhood, where craftsmen, workers and artists rub shoulders. The atmosphere is more family-friendly than in any other place in the city. You will find many arts centers there, but also restaurants, libraries, associations and fabulous little cafes.
