• Source: 13th arrondissement of Paris

The 13th arrondissement of Paris (XIIIe arrondissement) is one of the 20 arrondissements of Paris. In spoken French, the arrondissement is referred to as le treizième ("the thirteenth").
The arrondissement is situated on the left bank of the River Seine. It is home to Paris's principal Asian community, the Quartier Asiatique, located in the southeast of the arrondissement in an area that contains many high-rise apartment buildings. The neighbourhood features a high concentration of Chinese and Vietnamese businesses.
The current mayor has been Jérôme Coumet (originally elected as a Socialist, now miscellaneous left) since 2007. He was reelected by the arrondissement council on 29 March 2008 after the list which he headed gained 70% of the votes cast in the second round of the 2008 municipal election. He was again reelected on 13 April 2014 and on 11 July 2020.
The 13th arrondissement is also home to the Bibliothèque nationale de France's François Mitterrand site and the newly built business district of Paris Rive Gauche.




Demographics


The 13th arrondissement is still growing in population, mainly because of an influx of Asian immigrants. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, the first wave of Vietnamese refugees from the Vietnam War settled in the arrondissement, largely concentrated near Masséna Boulevard. Later waves of refugees and Asian immigrants transitioned from being exclusively ethnic Vietnamese to include ethnic Chinese from Vietnam, Laotians and Cambodians. These migrants largely settled in the southern area of the arrondissement, creating an Asian quarter and establishing a commercial district and community institutions. Teochew, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Lao and Khmer are spoken by many residents in the community.
At the last census in 1999, the population was 171,533. The 13th arrondissement is also rapidly growing in business activity, thanks to the new business district of Paris Rive Gauche. In 1999, the arrondissement contained 89,316 jobs, a number that has since grown.
