The Former French Concession is Shanghai's most charming and atmospheric district, a leafy quarter of plane-tree-lined streets, low-rise lane houses (shikumen), Art Deco villas, and converted heritage buildings that feel a world away from the city's skyscrapers. Once the foreign concession governed by France, it's now home to boutiques, indie cafés, bars, restaurants, and design shops, especially around hubs like Tianzifang (a maze of arts-and-crafts lanes) and Xintiandi (a polished restored shikumen dining and shopping enclave).
There's no single sight here, the pleasure is wandering the shaded streets, peeking into lane neighbourhoods, and stopping for coffee or cocktails. It's where Shanghai feels most relaxed and stylish, and a wonderful contrast to the Bund and Pudong. Come on foot, get a little lost, and soak up the genteel, tree-shaded calm.

Un poco de historia
The French Concession was a foreign-administered area of Shanghai from 1849 until 1943, developing into a fashionable residential and commercial district with European architecture and tree-lined avenues. Though the concession ended, the area's distinctive character and buildings survive, now gentrified and beloved.
