or, le quartier des bijoux... I spent an afternoon wandering around this part of town. It's quite nice - however city planning is an interesting thing here. I won't say too much - as I don't really know much about the history of this city or the development etc. - but... while they are begining to spend tons of money on rejuvination projects etc., a lot areas tend to be mostly residential, or mostly commercial, rather than mixed. The Jewellery Quarter was lovely during the day in the middle of the week, but I had a walk up there one sunday and it was virtually deserted... I guess people don't really shop for engagement rings on Sundays.
