CONTENTS
To discover Paris is to discover a city of villages, each with its own distinct style and atmosphere. From the narrow, medieval streets winding through the Latin Quarter and the steep stairs of Montmartre to the chic Haussmannian buildings of the Grands Boulevards and the tree-lined avenue des Champs-lyses, a stroll through the City of Light is the best way to enjoy its multifaceted personality.
The centre of Paris includes the le de la Cit with Ste Chapelle and Notre-Dame Cathedral and the charming le St-Louis with its boutiques and ice cream stands. The Louvre Museum, Tuileries Gardens and the Palais Royal make up the 1st, while the small 2nd is home to the wholesale district and covered passages. The 3rd is known for its contemporary art galleries and cutting edge fashion, while the medieval streets of the 4th are full of museums, clothing boutiques, the historic Jewish Quarter and some of the best little cafs in town.
The Left Bank is home to the Latin Quarter, the student district around the Sorbonne and Panthon. Further west is the chic Luxembourg Gardens and the famous cafs of the boulevard St-Germain. The high-end fashion boutiques and art galleries of the 6th merge into the diplomatic and residential district of the 7th, dominated by two iconic monuments, Les Invalides and the Eiffel Tower.

The 8th is known for the world famous avenue des Champs-lyses and its nearby couture houses. The Arc de Triomphe marks the beginning of the discreetly elegant 17th, while the Opra Garnier and the Grands Magasins of the boulevard Haussmann define the bustling 9th. The northeastern edges of the 9th and 17th have an edgier vibe as they become more gentrified, along with the 10th and its popular Canal St-Martin and busy train stations.
Palais de Tokyo
S. Quillon/MICHELIN
The eastern districts of Paris are known for their laid-back atmosphere and lively nightlife, particularly around the rue Oberkampf and the place de la Bastille. Once known as the workers district, the Faubourg St-Antoine is still home to many furniture makers, while two of the citys best open-air food markets can be found at the boulevard Richard Lenoir and the place dAligre. The revived Bercy district and its vast park are a welcome green space along the Seine, as well as the vast Bois de Vincennes and its chteau to the east.
The large southern arrondissements of Paris include Chinatown, Butte-aux-Cailles and the contemporary Bibliothque district in the 13th, the peaceful Parc Montsouris and the Catacombes dominated by the Montparnasse Tower in the 14th, and the pleasant residential district with the Parc Andr Citron in the 15th. These districts, now connected by the new Tramway, offer many shopping opportunities in typically Parisian neighbourhoods.
The immense 16th arrondissement is considered one of the most chic places to live in Paris. Among residential streets are several museums including those in the Palais Chaillot and Palais de Tokyo. Its two prime shopping streets are avenue Victor Hugo and the rue de Passy with its Franck & Fils department store. To the west is the vast Bois de Boulogne, with its sports stadiums, gardens, lakes and childrens park.
Home to the bucolic Butte de Montmartre, with its Sacr-Cur Basilica and Moulin Rouge Cabaret, the 18th is one of the most popular districts in Paris. To the east visitors will find the up-and-coming 19th, with the contemporary Parc de la Villette of museums and concert halls, the Bassin de la Villette waterway, and the 19C Parc des Buttes Chaumont. The 20ths Belleville district is known for its artist ateliers and modern park, while Pre-Lachaise Cemetery remains one of the largest green spaces within Paris.
