The 10th arrondissement of Paris (Xe arrondissement) is one of the 20 arrondissements of the capital city of France. In spoken French, the arrondissement is referred to as le dixième (pronounced as /fr/; "the tenth", formally le dixième arrondissement de Paris). In 2020, it had a population of 83,459.
The arrondissement, called Entrepôt (warehouse), is situated on the right bank of the River Seine. It contains two of Paris's six main railway stations: the Gare du Nord and the Gare de l'Est. Built during the 19th century, these two termini are among the busiest in Europe. The 10th arrondissement also contains a large portion of the Canal Saint-Martin, linking the northeastern parts of Paris with the Seine.
The current mayor of the 10th arrondissement is Alexandra Cordebard since 2017.[1]

Today, the arrondissement remains very dense in both population and business activity, with 89,612 inhabitants and 71,962 jobs at last census in 1999.
