It is best for tourists to settle in the center of Paris (from the 1st to the 9th arrondissement), namely in the area along the Seine. Very Convenient to live near metro line 1, which passes through the main attractions: the Louvre, the Champs-Elysees and the Tuillieries.

It hardly makes sense to settle far from the city center: getting to attractions from residential areas and suburbs is a bit far, and it’s expensive - public transport in Paris also costs money. Therefore, we advise you to pay attention to hotels located more or less close to the main attractions. It’s not difficult to navigate: as a rule, hotel descriptions indicate the distance from the nearest landmark, for example, 200 meters from Eiffel Tower or the Arc de Triomphe. This is especially important if you are traveling to Paris for the first time: by focusing on well-known sites, the likelihood of getting lost while looking for a hotel is much lower.

Ideal (but also the most expensive!) is 1st arrondissement, namely the Rue de Rivoli area, opposite the Louvre, within walking distance from the Tuileries Garden and the Champs Elysees. Here are the most expensive, most famous hotels: for example, the Ritz Hotel, where Princess Diana lived. Most of it is occupied by the Louvre Palace Museum, as well as the adjacent Tuileries Garden, part of Rivoli Street, Place Vendome and the Palais Royal Palace. If you stay in this area, then many attractions will be within walking distance from your hotel, and there is a high probability that a piece of the Louvre will be visible from the window of your room, and you will live in some historical building, in addition, on Rivoli Street there is a significant number of shops, cafes and restaurants. However, the cost of living in the Louvre area is quite high; even for the most modest conditions they can charge from 120-180 euros per day, while the description of the hotel and its photographs may not correspond to reality. Since the buildings in this area are quite old, the hotel may not have an elevator, and you will have to carry your luggage up the stairs. The rooms may have rather shabby furniture, terrible audibility and lack of air conditioning, which is especially important in the summer. Reviews of tourists left on hotel booking sites will help you save yourself from contemplating all of the above (in this sense, the Booking.com search engine is especially informative).

A good choice is Latin Quarter (Quartier latin) in the 5th arrondissement, on the left bank of the Seine. The main attractions in this area are the Pantheon, the Luxembourg Gardens and the Baths of Cluny. Despite the fact that there are no fewer tourists in the Luxembourg Gardens than in the Tuileries Park near the Louvre, the area itself looks calmer and more homely; grandmothers are often seen here walking their dogs or going home with a baguette under their arm. Works closer to the university a large number of inexpensive bistros, aimed mainly at students, and where you can save a little on food. There are also shops here, not only grocery stores, but also used book and antique stores. The attractions of the Ile de la Cité and the Louvre are also close here - to do this you need to cross the bridge.

Quite interesting to live in 8th arrondissement, in the area Champs Elysees(les Champs-Élysees), which stretch from the Place de la Concorde (Place de la Concorde) to the Arc de Triomphe. Closer to the Place de la Concorde, the hotels are located in traditional Parisian houses with attics, and if your room is on the top floor, it is very likely that you will have a nice balcony or attic. Further, towards the Arc de Triomphe, there are a large number of shops, and finally, at the arch itself there is a completely traditional quarter, which does not lack food shops, of which there are much more than souk and shoe stores (in the center it is usually the other way around). It’s convenient to live here if your goal is shopping or traveling outside the central districts of Paris (for example, to Vincennes Castle or the Abbey of Saint-Denis) - the Saint-Lazare train station is located nearby (Gare St. Lazare), where 5 metro lines intersect, and near the shops of the Champs Elysees and the boutiques of the Rue Saint-Honoré (Rue St. Honore).

Area Marais located in the 3rd and 4th arrondissements of Paris very cozy, there are a couple of streets of authentic, real Paris, where you can easily stumble upon a half-timbered building. Its location is also good: the center is 10-15 minutes walk from here. The area is considered ultra-fashionable (though, not least because it is favored by the gay community). Although, it is very overrated, and in some hotels, even those recommended by guidebooks, there is something to complain about (if you get up late, you may not have enough pastries at breakfast)..

A good option for accommodation arevicinity of Monaparnasse station(Montparnasse)- 14th district. Compared to the center, there are not many attractions here, but they are there: it is a tall observation tower, from where you can see all of Paris, and the famous Montparnasse cemetery. The area around the station (in Paris 7 railway stations) is quite decent, you can calmly walk here at any time. The main advantage of the area is good infrastructure: many grocery stores and a huge shopping mall at the subway exit. A possible disadvantage of the area may be its distance from the center, but for those who like to walk a lot, this is not a problem: in 20-25 minutes you can walk to the Eiffel Tower, in 15-20 minutes - to the Luxembourg Gardens. In this area it is convenient to settle closer to the catacombs, which is a 15-minute walk from the station, since a special bus comes to the square near the catacombs from Orly airport(Orlibas - Orlybus), and after spending the night at the hotel, the next day you can move towards the station to go in the right direction.

Recommended hotels in different areas can be found on the website. Booking.com. Wherein Please note that each hotel has an address, which consists of 5 digits. For example, 75011. 75 indicates that the hotel is located in Paris. The last two digits indicate the city district number. In this case, it is the 11th district. Pay attention to them!

Despite the respectability of the 1st district as a whole, we do not recommend settling in a quarter that is located around the Forum des Halles shopping center - “the former belly of Paris” : In the evenings it is quite dull and the occasional teenage groups hanging around do not inspire confidence.

Montmartre(Montmartre)(18th district ) - it's a huge hill with lots of stairs and a maze of streets. It is quite inconvenient for tourists to live there, given the difficult geography and underdevelopment public transport(total 2 metro stations and 1 bus). It is considered one of the most colorful areas of Paris; artists, poets, writers and journalists have long settled here (many of whom, however, later migrated to Montparnasse, discussed above:). Finally, if you don't know Paris, you can easily make a mistake: Montmartre is considered not only the foot of the Sacré Coeur, so the hotel may well be located either in an area closer to the Gare du Nord, or far away from the tourist attractions. Now there are a large number of shops selling all sorts of things and expensive cafes and restaurants that are immodestly enjoying the popularity of the area. It’s nice to walk around Montmartre and buy all sorts of nonsense, but not to live: there are always dubious characters hanging around here who are always trying to snatch your bag, there are also beggars, and in the evenings there are numerous establishments under the red lantern (and we’re not talking about Chinese restaurants at all). ) and erotic shops. This especially applies to Boulevard Pigalle, the red light district.

North Station areas(Gare du Nord) and East Station (Gare de l'Est) in the 10th arrondissement considered one of the most dangerous in Paris . People from Arab and African countries also live there. The area is quite close to the center (North Station - one of the biggest transport hubs Europe, but 3 RER lines pass through it, 2 of which lead to the most dangerous suburb of Paris - Saint Denis. The following metro stations should be avoided: Stalingrad, Chapelle, Gare du Nord(2nd branch), Gare de l'Est(5th branch). Although, to be fair: the hotels on the square in front of the Eastern Station are quite convenient for tourists: close to the center and a stone's throw from the train.

Areas along the Canal Saint-Martin (18th arrondissement) And La Villette (19th arrondissement) were once considered as unsightly as Gare du Nord. However, thanks to the efforts of the Paris City Hall, they have become more popular: now rich and poor people live side by side there. From there it is far from the main attractions, transport is not developed (only two metro lines, you will often have to change trains). But, on the other hand, there are inexpensive hotels and the town of science and art La Villette is nearby.

• Metro stations Belleville(11th branch), and Couronnes And Menilmontant (2nd branch) in the 20th arrondissement- this is a Chinese area that smoothly turns into an Arab bazaar. By settling here, you will certainly spoil your impression of Paris! Although, there are not many hotels in this area, and those that exist are offered at suspiciously low prices;).
• Avoid all hotels near metro stations on the borders of Paris and the suburbs starting from Porte de... ClignancourtClignancour and Clichy are dangerous areas of Paris with a fairly high crime rate. Other Porte de..., although they are quieter for life, are also inconvenient for tourists: it is far from them to get to the center. The only exception to this rule - Porte Maillot, which is located halfway from the Arc de Triomphe to La Défense.
• The peripheral areas of Paris are not dangerous, but rather inconvenient for tourists, although hotel prices there are lower than in the center . However, With try to avoid northern areas .

Don't forget about the basics too. It is believed that pickpockets and thieves of women's handbags are more common in prosperous areas of Paris. The tourist is relaxed and enjoying the view, and at this time his wallet is being pulled out. Particularly popular places among pickpockets are the Louvre and.

It is worth noting that many tourists are intimidated by myths about “dangerous areas of Paris.” In fact, Paris is as safe as any other European city with a million population. Here, as in any big city, you need to observe basic rules of decency and not forget about precautions. Don’t forget that the real Paris is different from postcards and photographs in magazines, and some areas are not very convenient for tourists: it’s a long drive, there is no transport or tourist attractions. And the Parisians themselves - not tourists, they live, work and study in their city with great pleasure.

First arrondissement of Paris (Louvre –Arrondissement du Louvre) . Next door to kings

The first arrondissement of Paris is the most “tidbit” of the city for tourists. This is the very center of the city with the Louvre, the Tuileries Garden, the Palais Royal and Place Vendôme. There are more than 300 various architectural monuments and museums in this area. In addition, numerous shops will delight shopping lovers. The Forum des Halles shopping center is especially large.

All the most interesting things are just a stone's throw away, but the prices for accommodation are appropriate. The very high cost of rooms is the main disadvantage of the first district. The cost of accommodation here is the highest compared to areas more distant from the center. However, if you try really hard, you can find a relatively inexpensive hotel here, especially if you book in advance. But most likely, the living conditions in inexpensive hotels will be at least modest - a hotel next door to the Louvre cannot be cheap for no reason.

In the first district, life is in full swing at any time of the day. Crowds of tourists and entertaining Parisians are concentrated near the Louvre and the Forum des Halles - lovers of a relaxing holiday should take this into account when choosing a hotel. It can be quite noisy here, so carefully study the reviews and check such nuances as audibility in the rooms, the busyness of the street on which the hotel is located, the proximity of nightclubs, bars and other hot spots. If you decide to have the luxury of living in the heart of Paris, choose places on quieter streets to be able to relax after intense walking around the city.

Second district – business Burs (Arrondissement de la Bourse)

Business center of Paris. The smallest in area, but not in importance. Despite the fact that the second arrondissement is located next to the first, that is, almost in the very center of Paris, it is a much quieter area. If the area around the Louvre is filled with tourists from morning to night, business life is in full swing here: behind the walls of the Paris Bourse, numerous banks and offices, of which there are many. In addition, in the second arrondissement of Paris there is the Opera-Comique, the Perfume Museum, and luxury shops for every taste (though not for every budget!)

Thanks to its central location and, unlike the first arrondissement, relative tranquility, this area is very convenient for tourists wishing to live in the heart of Paris. But the cost of accommodation in the second district is as high as in the first.

Seventh arrondissement - respectable Palais-Bourbon (Arrondissement du Palais Bourbon)

Elite Eighth Arrondissement (Champs Elysees –Arrondissement de l'Élysée)

The eighth arrondissement is known primarily for the Champs-Elysees, which attracts a huge number of tourists at any time of the day. The Champs Elysees is adjacent to two important Parisian landmarks - the Champs Elysees and Grand Palace. On Place Charles de Gaulle stands the famous Triumphal Arch, and on the Place de la Concorde you can see the ancient Egyptian Luxor Obelisk. And not far from the Seine embankment there is the legendary Parisian cabaret Crazy Horse.

With its abundance of iconic attractions and central location, it's no surprise that the 8th arrondissement is populated mostly by wealthy residents, and hotel room rates in the arrondissement are some of the highest in Paris. However, the area is not small, and what has been said applies to that part of it that is adjacent to the Champs Elysees and the Louvre. The further north you go (and further from the center), the more likely you are to find more affordable hotels.

Sixteenth arrondissement - bourgeois Passy (Arrondissement de Passy)

One of the most respectable areas of Paris. Here you will not meet migrants - the district is inhabited mainly by representatives of the bourgeoisie. Living in the sixteenth arrondissement is prestigious and just as expensive. Nearby is the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs Elysees. Directly on the territory of the district there are Roland Garros courts, as well as a number of museums and expensive boutiques, most of which is located on Passy Street. However, you will have to travel to the Louvre and many other attractions by transport.

Authentic and relatively economical: where to experience authentic Parisian charm

Third arrondissement - authentic Temple (Arrondissement du Temple)

A calm and authentic area where you can feel the real, lively, non-touristy Paris. Although the most popular attractions are concentrated in neighboring districts, this area is no less interesting for its unique flavor and rich history. The historic Marais quarter is partially located here, in which preserved and luxurious palaces Baroque era, and ancient houses of ordinary Parisians.

In the third arrondissement there is the Picasso Museum, the Carnavalet Museum and other interesting places that not every tourist gets to. The area also borders the famous Place des Vosges (the oldest in Paris). In the third arrondissement there is no tourist crowds, here you can see Paris through the eyes of the Parisians themselves, merge with the locals on vacation, walk along the beautiful streets of the Marais quarter, remembering the events of bygone eras, drink wine on the terrace of one of the many restaurants... In addition, there are many interesting and original shops here.

There are relatively few hotels in the area, and if you are lucky enough to find available rooms, the cost of accommodation will be on average lower than in the 1st and 2nd arrondissement.

Fifth district - atmospheric Pantheon (Arrondissement de Panthéon)

The main attraction of the fifth arrondissement of Paris is the Sorbonne, one of the oldest universities in Europe. The Sorbonne is located in the student Latin Quarter, the name of which is due to the fact that the first generations of university students spoke mainly Latin. Today, the fifth arrondissement remains the educational center of Paris. In addition to educational institutions, there are a large number of interesting museums – National Museum Natural History, Museum of the Middle Ages, Museum of the Prefecture of Police of Paris and many others. In this area, tourists will also be interested in seeing the famous Pantheon - a kind of mausoleum of prominent figures of France, as well as the ruins of Roman baths dating back to the 1st century BC.

Hotels in the fifth arrondissement will delight you with more affordable prices than in the first four. In addition, this area is one of the most “Parisian” in its atmosphere. At the same time, it differs from the rest in its special charm associated with the university and intellectual life that is in full swing here. Beautiful boulevards and squares, many cozy cafes, pastry shops and shops, unique bookstores and used bookstores. It is very interesting, picturesque and atmospheric, but there are not so many tourists. However, some streets can be noisy (after all, it is a student center, and there is a very active night life!), so pay attention to hotel reviews.

Advice:

It is especially convenient if the hotel is within walking distance from the Notre Dame or Luxembourg RER stations, which are accessible by direct train from Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports.

Sixth arrondissement – ​​sophisticated Luxembourg (Arrondissement du Luxembourg)

One of the favorite areas of Paris both for Parisians themselves and for tourists and connoisseurs of the French capital. From here you can easily reach the main attractions of Paris. At the same time, there is no such tourist crowd as, for example, in the first district, and the cost of hotel rooms is slightly lower.

The sixth arrondissement is mainly inhabited by representatives of the Parisian intelligentsia. The area is very pleasant, sophisticated and atmospheric: quiet streets, elegant buildings, the ancient quarter of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, which is one of the symbols of Paris, the Luxembourg Gardens, where people love to spend time local residents…

Noisy, fun and young: there may be no time for sleep here!

Fourth arrondissement - the lively Hotel de Ville (Arrondissement de l‘ Hô tel de Ville)

The fourth arrondissement of Paris “captures” both part of the ancient Marais quarter (which is partially located on the territory of the 3rd arrondissement) and the legendary Ile de la Cité, the birthplace of the city. The buildings belonging to the Marais quarter have remained virtually untouched since their construction in the 17th century. This is where the Place de la Bastille and the Pompidou Center are located. And on the island of Cite there is the legendary and other iconic attractions.

The fourth arrondissement attracts young people who relax in local bars and clubs, and they are represented here in abundance. Therefore, it is better to look for hotels or choose rooms that do not face noisy streets, and also pay attention to reviews (soundproofing, location, crowd...)

From here you can easily reach the main attractions of Paris (many of them are within walking distance) and there are always places to eat and have fun. In general, this area is convenient for living, especially for young people. Here you can find more budget options than in districts 1 and 2, but in good hotels prices will still be quite high.

If your trip requires you to leave or arrive at Gare de Lyon, you may be interested in hotels in the Place de la Bastille area - many of them are within walking distance of the station.

Eleventh District– youth Popancourt (Arrondissement de Popincourt)

One of the busiest and youngest areas of the city. Near the main attraction of the district - Place de la Bastille - there is a huge number of various establishments where young people have fun until late at night. The Eleventh District is to the taste of those who are not bothered by noise and a contingent consisting mainly of drunken youth.

From this area you can get to the city center quite quickly, and the cost of hotel accommodation is relatively low. But when choosing a hotel in this area, you should stay away from the border with the dysfunctional and criminal 20th arrondissement.

Eighteenth arrondissement - bohemian Buttes-Montmartre (Butte–Montmartre)

The most noisy and bohemian district of Paris. The main attraction and symbol of the area is built on the top of Montmartre hill, which is the most high point cities. Montmartre is famous for its many interesting places related to the rich history of Paris and its rich cultural life late XIX– beginning of the 20th century The legendary Moulin Rouge cabaret is also located here, next to which it is fun and noisy at any time of the day.

Despite the wide popularity of the area, living in it is not very convenient. It should be taken into account that the 18th arrondissement is an entertainment district, which is also located at a distance from the city center. It’s definitely not worth planning to stay here with children. Also, the district is not very suitable for lovers of a measured and quiet life. At night, life is in full swing here, especially in the Red Light District. It is also worth keeping in mind that pickpockets and scammers operate in the busiest areas of Buttes Montmartre. You will mainly have to get to the center by transport. At the same time, the cost of living is relatively low (by Parisian standards, of course) - it is quite possible to choose budget options here.

Budget-friendly and (sometimes) quiet: non-tourist areas away from the center

Artistic Ninth Arrondissement (Opera –Arrondissement de l‘ Opé ra)

The 9th arrondissement of Paris will be of interest to lovers of art and shopping. Here is the Opera Garnier - one of the leading opera houses in the world, as well as the largest and oldest department store in Paris - Galeries Lafayette. Not far from the gallery is the Printam shopping center with the most fashionable stores.

In the ninth arrondissement you can stay quite comfortably and relatively inexpensively. From here it is easy to get to the central attractions (from some hotels it is quite possible to walk to “tourist” places). But hotels bordering the noisy and bohemian Montmartre (this is already the 18th arrondissement of Paris) are not suitable for lovers have a relaxing holiday. It is better to choose hotels closer to the Opera.

Twelfth arrondissement - non-tourist Paris (12e arrondissement de Paris)

The twelfth arrondissement is located some distance from the center; it is an inexpensive and quiet residential area of ​​Paris. The main attraction of the district is Gare de Lyon, architectural masterpiece beginning of the 20th century. Hotels in close proximity to the station will be convenient for those arriving or leaving the station. In this part of Paris you can find budget accommodation options. But in order to get to the center, you will have to use transport. When choosing a hotel, you should avoid accommodation options on the border with the 20th arrondissement mentioned above.

The Thirteenth Arrondissement - a piece of Asia in Paris (Tapestry, orArrondissement des Gobelins)

An Asian area, completely different from the Paris we usually imagine. Here is the Parisian Chinatown, and therefore an unusual place for Paris. However, some parts of the district are quite “Parisian” (for example, in the Place d’Italie area, close to the Luxembourg Gardens and the Botanical Garden). Also here are National Library, Piazza della Italia, as well as many inexpensive hotels. In general, this area is not considered dangerous - the residents here are quite friendly and peaceful.

The fourteenth arrondissement - away from the bustle (Observatoire,Observatoire)

Another quiet and inexpensive district, remote from the center. However, it is not as simple as it seems at first glance. In the last century, Boulevard Montparnasse, located in this area, was a meeting place for celebrities and representatives of the capital's bohemians. Today the district no longer attracts bohemians, but numerous cafes and restaurants still operate on the boulevard.

The most interesting objects for tourists in this area are the Montparnasse Tower (causing a lot of controversy), which offers a fantastic view of the Eiffel Tower, and the cemetery of the same name. And here is the entrance to the Paris Catacombs.

The cost of accommodation in the 14th arrondissement is comparable to 5-6 arrondissements, although more budget options can be found. Most central attractions need to be reached by transport.

The fifteenth district is democratic and comfortable (Vaugirard -Arrondissement de Vaugirard)

This is the most large area Paris. There are no particularly famous attractions or proximity to the center, but there is silence, comfort and safety, as well as very inexpensive housing. It is especially convenient to settle near the border of the 7th arrondissement - from there you can quickly get to the city center.

The disadvantaged Nineteenth and Twentieth arrondissements (Buttes-Chaumont and Menilmontant)

Tourists are usually not recommended to stay in the 19th and 20th arrondissements - these places have a reputation for troubled criminal areas. However, through the efforts of the authorities, the 19th arrondissement is gradually becoming more refined, and wealthy citizens are even beginning to settle next to the Saint-Martin Canal.

In the 20th arrondissement, the situation is completely sad - this is a migrant area, and it is very dangerous to be in it.

Despite the cheapness of hotels in these areas, most tourists try to stay closer to the center and away from these two districts.

Paris hotels on the map

Conclusions: where is the best place for a tourist to stay in Paris?

Paris districts on the map

So, let's summarize. Of course, choosing a hotel in Paris will depend on your goals, preferences and budget restrictions. But still, we will highlight the areas of Paris that are the most convenient for tourists and have the leading reviews. Without going into details, these are the first six arrondissements that make up the “heart” of Paris. Among them you can find a variety of options to suit every taste and almost every budget:

Saint-Germain des Pres is an elegant old, truly “Parisian” quarter of the 6th arrondissement, with easy access to many attractions.

Based on the experience of our team and reviews from tourists, these areas are the most convenient for living in Paris. They are good because they have easy access to most attractions, excellent tourist infrastructure (everything you need is nearby, a wide selection of cafes, shops, etc.), and their originality and unique atmosphere.

Tips: what else to consider when choosing a hotel in Paris

Transport accessibility

If you want to walk to the main attractions of Paris, it is worth checking the hotel address in advance and checking on the map how you will get to certain places. Even in central regions Paris hotels may be located at some distance from the attractions you are interested in (for example, in the 8th arrondissement you can stay near the Champs Elysees, in the very “heart” of Paris, or on the border with the 17th arrondissement, which is much further away).

If you plan to actively move around Paris by public transport, then check proximity to metro stations and other public transport stops, think about what routes and what transport you will use to get to your destinations.

In some areas that are located far from the center, but at the same time have their own famous attractions (for example, Trocadero, Montparnasse, etc.), you can use tourist buses in order to reach others popular places. Among such buses are Big Bus, Open Tour, Bus Foxity.

It is worth considering how will you get from the airport(or from the train station if you are coming to Paris by train) and back. Of course, taxis and bus shuttles can take you directly to your hotel, no matter what area of ​​Paris it is located in. But do not forget about the intense Parisian traffic and the high cost of taxis. It is much faster and cheaper to travel by RER train. If you are coming from Charles de Gaulle airport, it will be very convenient if the hotel is located close to the RER stations of line B (among the largest stations in the center of Paris are Chatelet Les Halles, Notre Dame, Luxembourg). In this case, you can easily take the train to the city center, and from there you can walk to the hotel, without additional transfers. Orly airport is connected to Paris by the same line B, although in addition to the RER you will need to take the special Orlyval train.

Proximity to shops and cafes

As a rule, breakfasts in Parisian hotels do not delight most tourists. Of course, this does not apply to luxury hotels. But if you book a modest budget hotel, be prepared for the most modest breakfast: a croissant, maybe a bun with jam, and not the best coffee... Of course, there are always exceptions, but the general trend is this. Real Parisian delicacies will await you not at the hotel, but in local cafes and restaurants. And perhaps even in shops and supermarkets (if you plan to eat on your own). Many tourists refuse the “built-in” breakfast at the hotel and prefer to start the day with a trip to authentic cafes. Take note of this and check if there are such places near the hotel.

The Church of Saint-Eustache (Saint-Eustache), as well as the huge Forum des Halles shopping center (Forum Des Halles) on the very spot where a huge food market was located for several centuries "Les Halles", nicknamed by Emile Zola “the belly of Paris.” Everything is close in this district, living here is calm and convenient.

Stay in the 5th or 6th arrondissement of Paris.These are the most good areas- quiet and inexpensive, close to the center. Areas located on the outskirts are not worth choosing; there are many emigrants from Africa there and sometimes it can be dangerous. Now let's look at it in detailwhere is the best place to live in Paris tourist.

, so that you do not spoil your impressions due to an unsuccessfully chosen place of residence.

On the one hand, Paris is the city of light and the capital of love, the most romantic city in the world. But it is also a city of emigrants and criminals, who attract large numbers of tourists.

If you are choosing between areas near the Louvre or near the Eiffel Tower, then it is better to stay near the Louvre. Moreover, you can find accommodation there with a view of the tower.

Districts of Paris on the map

Map of Paris arrondissements. The red color is the area of ​​the Eastern Station and the foot of Montmartre, it is full of emigrants from Africa. The outskirts are also shown in red. Yellow is the center: Ile de la Cité, Louvre and Eiffel Tower. It's good there, but expensive.

Look at the map above. Try not to choose a hotel in those places shown in red. There are a lot of emigrants in Paris. They are mainly concentrated in certain areas, and settling in them will definitely ruin your impression of the city.

When choosing a hotel or hostel, pay attention to what district it is located in. In some areas of Paris you can safely walk until late, but in some places it is better not to appear even during the day.

In addition, some areas are simply inconvenient for tourists: they are far away or expensive.

In short:

You should not settle in the X, XI, XVII, XIX and XX districts. And also on the outskirts.

Most expensive areas, although it is expensive to live in all of Paris.

I advise you to settle in the V or VI arrondissement.

Nice areas of Paris

The most convenient areas for tourists are 5th and 6th district. It is quiet, close to the center and relatively inexpensive. You can quickly get to the center by metro, and if you wish, you can walk. These districts also have their own attractions. For example, if you stay near the Luxembourg Gardens, the Pantheon and the Parisian catacombs will be within walking distance. The Home for the Invalids is also not very far away.

Good areas in the center: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

Good areas on the outskirts: 13,14,15, 16,17.

We usually look for hotels on the website booking.com

Dangerous areas of Paris

In Paris, any outskirts are dangerous, especially in the northern part of the city. Most worst option - is to stay in the Northern area ( Gare du Nord) and Eastern ( Gare de l'Est) stations.

Everything is clear here: we look at the map and choose a hotel in the green zone. But in the center, in places where tourists gather, you also need to be careful. The Champs Elysees and the Eiffel Tower area are places where pickpockets and scammers work.

Bad areas of Paris: 10 - especially in the area of ​​the northern and eastern train stations, 11 - closer to the border with the 20th arrondissement, 18 - except Montmartre, 19th and 20th arrondissement, all outskirts.

All districts of Paris with names

Now let's get to know the Parisian districts a little closer. The descriptions are based on reviews and our own experience. You can follow the link and read.

As you guessed, this is the very center of Paris. If you stay here, all the main attractions will be easily accessible. However, you are unlikely to find a cheap hotel in this district.

Sights of the 1st district:

• Louvre
• Conciergerie (Parisian prison)
• Royal Palace (Palais Royal)
• Hotel Ritz
• Place Chatelet

It’s also a quiet area; living here is just as expensive as in the first district.

Sights of the 2nd district:

• Brongniart Palace
• Opera Comedian
• Gallery Colbert

Due to the fact that there are almost no attractions in this district, tourists do not come here. The area is calm and serene. And housing here is a little cheaper than in the first two.

Main attraction- Picasso Museum.

This historical Center Paris. Ancient Paris originated on the Ile de la Cité and grew from here – from the fourth arrondissement. Some streets here have not changed since the Middle Ages. Living here is good, but expensive.

Sights of the 4th arrondissement:

• Notre Dame Cathedral
• Center Georges Pompidou
• Victor Hugo Museum
• Place de la Bastille
• Place Chatelet

The famous Sorbonne Institute is located in this district, and not far from it is the Pantheon. This is the so-called Latin Quarter. Here you can find relatively inexpensive hotels close to the center.

Sights of the 5th arrondissement:

• Sorbonne - University of Paris
• Pantheon
• The Arena of Lutetia is a Roman amphitheater from the 1st century AD.
• Museum of the Middle Ages
• Baths of Cluny - ancient Roman baths

Peace and quiet await tourists in this area of ​​the city. There are few tourists here due to the lack of attractions. In our opinion, the 5th and 6th districts - the best choice for place of residence. Hotels here are inexpensive, the center is close (we checked: from the Luxembourg Gardens to the center is 20 minutes on foot). This district is home to the Luxembourg Gardens, where you can walk, run and watch Parisians play pétanque.

Sights of the 6th arrondissement:

• Church of Saint-Sulpice
• Luxembourg Gardens and Luxembourg Palace
• Odeon Theater

Accommodation prices in this district can be slightly high due to the proximity of the Eiffel Tower and Les Invalides. And look at the city map - located away from the center. But overall the area is very good. In the home for the disabled there is a cafe of the “catering” type - cheap and cheerful.

Sights of the 7th arrondissement:

• Eiffel Tower
• Les Invalides and Napoleon's Tomb
• Orsay Museum
• Rodin Museum
• National Assembly Building (former Bourbon Palace)
• Champ de Mars

If you want to live on the Champs-Elysees, then in this district you will find such offers. Accordingly, prices here are among the highest in the city.

Sights of the 8th arrondissement:

• Triumphal Arch
• Luxor Obelisk at Place de la Concorde
• Elysee Palace
• Grand Palace
• Alexander III Bridge with the coat of arms of the Russian Empire
• Church of the Madeleine
• Parc Monceau
• Brothel One-Two-Two (not active)

You can live here if you choose a hotel closer to the city center. Closer to Montmartre the area becomes noisy. And there are more emigrants here than in other areas.

Sights of the 9th arrondissement:

• Opera Garnier
• Galeries Lafayette
• The Wax Museum
• Boulevard Clichy and Moulin Rouge

(Enclos-St-Laurent)

Although the prices for accommodation here may be lower than in neighboring areas, we advise you not to choose hotels here. Great amount emigrants live between North station and Montmartre. Instead of France, you will see central Africa. Crime here is high.

By the way, the Eastern Station, where the train from Moscow arrives, is located nearby.

Sights of the 10th arrondissement:

• Eastern Station
• Canal Saint Martin
• Church of Saint Viquel de Paul

Also a disadvantaged area. Especially on the border with the XXth district.

Sights of the 11th arrondissement:

• Opera Bastille
• July Column
• Place de la Bastille

XII - XVII district

Nothing bad, but a bit far from the center.

Sights of these districts:

  Sights of the 19th arrondissement:

  • Science City
  • Parc La Villette
  • Musicograd

  Emigrants from Asia, Africa and God knows where else are waiting for you in this district. This is an area for emigrants and it’s better for you and me not to appear here. Among the attractions there are only a few churches.

  We lived in the sixth arrondissementright opposite the Luxembourg Gardens, at the Résidence du Palais. We liked everything very much: quiet, clean and relatively inexpensive. There is a shared toilet on the floor, but each room has its own shower. There are parquet floors and antique furniture everywhere. The only negative is that the hostel does not have a kitchen. Here they areofficial site and page on Booking.com

  It's not that bad

  Now I’ll calm you down a little. Of course, they have emigrants there, crime and all that, but no one will touch you if you follow certain standards. You can walk, relax and enjoy your vacation in any district.

  People from Africa and the East are not dangerous, they are hot-tempered. Where the European apologizes and moves on, the African takes out a knife.

  So just don't provoke anyone. Behave calmly, don’t flash your expensive iPhone, keep an eye on things, don’t stay there late.

  Otherwise, you can calmly walk there and explore the local attractions. Nobody will touch you. Paris is basically a developed and civilized city. It is no more dangerous than Moscow, for example.

  

  I hope you can get your bearings - mostly...districts of Parisquiet - choose accommodation in a quiet and pleasant area, and your trip will be unforgettable. Good luck.
