Which neighborhood is best for you?
|
It's
impossible to generalize each neighborhood, but the following should give
you a broad idea of the differences between the Paris neighborhoods:
|
|
1ère |
This is the geographical center of Paris and a haven for tourists. The
Louvre, Les Halles and the Palais Royal are all here. |
|
2ème |
A
primarily business district. The Paris Stock Market (the Bourse) and the
Bibliothèque Nationale are here. |
|
3ème |
Along with the 4ème arrondissement, this neighborhood makes up the
Marais, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Paris. Many 17th century
mansions that once housed the noblest families in Paris are still to be
seen in this quiet and ungentrified neighborhood. |
|
4ème |
The center of the Marais, this is a lively neighborhood with a strong
alternative lifestyle scene as well as lots of trendy bars, shops, and
restaurants. The rue des Rosiers is a centerpiece of Jewish lifestyle in
Paris and the Ile St. Louis and the Ile de la Cité are the
oldest parts of Paris. |
|
5ème |
The fabled Latin Quarter. This neighborhood takes its name from the
Sorbonne, where Latin was the common tongue for all students during the
Middle Ages. The neighborhood has the feel of a small village and
students mix freely with professionals in its winding streets. The rue
Mouffetard is a primary artery where shops, international restaurants
and student bars and cafés are found. |
|
6ème |
St. Germain. Once the hangout for bohemians and intellectuals, this
neighborhood has undergone gentrification and is now newly chic. Upscale
boutiques, art galleries, and restaurants can be found throughout this
district. |
|
7ème |
The Eiffel Tower, the Musée d'Orsay and lots of international residents
can be found in this very wealthy neighborhood. |
|
8ème |
This upscale neighborhood is in fact quite diverse. The area around
Champs Elysèe, has lots of shopping and lots of tourists, while in the
area to the East, between the Champs Elysee and Place de la Madeleine
you will find a mixture of 19th century buildings intermingled with
businesses. This area is in someways similar to parts of the 16th, but
is generally less pretentious. |
|
9ème |
A
diverse residential area popular among an artistic crowd. Ths Southern
portion is similar to the 2nd arrondissement, with a mix of residential
and business buildings. The Paris Opera is located here. Farther North
is Pigalle, the fading Red Light district as well as the famous Moulin
Rouge. |
|
10ème |
The two great train stations in Paris are here, the Gare de l'Est and
the Gare du Nord. This multi-cultural neighborhood also contains a
bohemian element. |
|
11ème |
Place de la Bastille and the New Opera are found here. This is a
primarily residential district. |
|
12ème |
Residential neighborhood bordered on the east by the Bois de Vincennes (
a nice park ). |
|
13ème |
Residential neighborhood, as well as Paris' Chinatown. |
|
14ème |
Montparnasse and the Cité Universitaire are found in this residential
district traditionally known for its lively cafés and restaurants around
the Blvd. Montparnasse. |
|
15ème |
This large primarily residential neighborhood ranges from very upscale
in the area bordering the 7th arrondissement and the Seine, to
relatively safe and affordable in the more outlying areas. |
|
16ème |
Bois de Boulogne, Trocadero. Although it is not as exclusive as the 7th
arrondissement, the 16th is widely regarded as the neighborhood
for the wealthy. |
|
17ème |
This diverse district really contains more than one neighborhood, with
the portion, in the west, near the Arc de Triomph and Parc Monceau,
being very upscale. |
|
18ème |
Montmartre. This artsy residential neighborhood has a small village feel
and lots of tourists. |
|
19ème |
The Parc des Buttes Chaumont. A residential neighborhood with many
ethnic restaurants and shops. |
|
20ème |
Belleville and the Père-Lachaise cemetery. An outlying residential area
that is becoming yuppified. |
