A little recap:

1st arrondissement: The tourist heart of Paris with the Louvre. Despite its recent makeover, it’s a bit trashy. Don’t miss the Palais Royal.

2nd arrondissement: Young and lively, especially around Rue Montorgueil. For a quieter experience, visit the elegant Galerie Vivienne.

3rd & 4th arrondissements (which make up the Marais): A busy mix of locals and tourists, with historic Jewish and gay communities. Skip Place des Vosges and explore the charming streets nearby.

5th arrondissement: The Latin Quarter, home to the Sorbonne and the Panthéon. Avoid the touristy west and head east to Place de la Contrescarpe, les Arènes de Lutèce and for tea at the Mosque.

6th arrondissement: Pictureperfect Paris with Jardin de Luxembourg and Café de Flore. Wander the quaint streets between Boulevard SaintGermain and the river.

7th arrondissement: Known for the Eiffel Tower and Musée d'Orsay. Discover the quieter Musée Rodin and lively Rue Cler.

8th arrondissement: Touristy ChampsElysées and Arc de Triomphe. Locals prefer the beautiful Petit Palais and Pont Alexandre III.

9th arrondissement: Famous for the Opéra and Galeries Lafayette. For a more local vibe, visit the northern Rue des Martyrs.

10th arrondissement: Known for Canal SaintMartin. Avoid Gare du Nord but explore the vibrant Rue du Faubourg SaintDenis.

11th arrondissement: My favorite! Full of hipster gems and lively streets like Rue Oberkampf. Great for bars and bistros.

12th arrondissement: Often overlooked, but check out Marché d'Aligre and the Coulée verte bike path.

13th arrondissement: A mix of old and new, with Station F and the national library. Enjoy the péniche bars along the river.

14th arrondissement: Residential with local cafés and parks. Visit the Catacombes and the delightful southern parks.

15th arrondissement: Safe and lowkey, with good accommodation options. Check out Le Café du Commerce and the bridge featured in Inception.

16th arrondissement: Known for Eiffel Tower views and Bois de Boulogne. Wealthy and residential with affordable back street cafés.

17th arrondissement: Divided between oldworld wealth and lively Batignolles. Perfect for family brunches.

18th arrondissement: Home to SacréCoeur and Montmartre. Explore beyond the tourist traps to find local color.

19th arrondissement: Features the best park in Paris, Les ButtesChaumont, and a vibrant canal scene. Young and creative.
