Stay in the 5th or 6th arrondissement of Paris.These are the best 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.
The 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 districts. 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 Invalides Home 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. The 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 it.
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 is the historical center of 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 are the best choice for 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. A huge number of emigrants live between Gare du Nord and Montmartre. Instead of France, you will see central Africa. Crime here is high.
By the way, the Eastern Station is located nearby, where the train from Moscow arrives.
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:
- : Gare de Lyon
- National Library of France, Chinatown, Place d'Italie
- , Montparnasse, Paris Observatory
- Montparnasse Tower (view of the Eiffel Tower)
- : Arc de Triomphe, Balzac Museum, Museum of Forgeries, Wine Museum
- : Jean-Jacques Henner Museum
Living here is comfortable only in Montmartre. Otherwise, this is a noisy and not the cleanest area of the city. But Montmartre is a hill and the path to the metro station and back will be a little more difficult than in other areas. Plus, this place is located away from the center.
Sights of the 18th arrondissement:
- Montmartre Hill
- Basilica of Sacré-Coeur
- Moulin rouge
- Pigalle - red light district
- Wall of Love
Sights of the 19th arrondissement:
- Science City
- Parc La Villette
- Music City
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.

- Last minute tours To France
Paris is divided into 20 municipal arrondissements, numbered in a clockwise spiral from the center. The numbering starts from the center, from the first number and then clockwise to 20. That is, the outlying areas have the highest number, and the first ten districts belong to the historical heart of the city. Each district is almost a full-fledged city with its own lifestyle. When planning a trip, take the issue of accommodation seriously. Please note that the choice of hotel will depend not only on the view from the window, but also, possibly, on the entire impression of the trip. Paris is a city, of course, magical, but criminal; in some of its districts it is better not to appear even during the day.
Tourist districts
The most prestigious and lively arrondissements of Paris are from the 1st to the 8th, as well as the 16th.
Of these, 1st, 4th and 7th are the most expensive in terms of accommodation, because this is where the most popular attractions are located. The Louvre, Tuileries and Palais Royal were built in the 1st arrondissement. It is also a real paradise for shopkeepers and antique lovers. The historical center of the city is the 4th arrondissement, on its territory are located the Cathedral of Notre Dame, Place des Vosges, and the Victor Hugo House Museum. And the 7th arrondissement is on every second postcard about Paris, with the symbol of the city rising above it - the Eiffel Tower.
From the 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 6th arrondissements the center with its iconic places is just a stone's throw away, and prices for accommodation are no longer so high, although local hotels are not cheap. The 5th arrondissement, where the Pantheon was erected, is one of the busiest in Paris; it covers part of the Latin Quarter. They actively relax day and night in the area of the Champs-Elysees in the 8th arrondissement. The 2nd, 3rd and 6th arrondissements are noticeably quieter, and there is a lot to see here: Opera-Comique, Palais Brongniart, Marais quarter, Luxembourg Palace.
The luxurious 7th arrondissement is adjacent to the 15th and 16th. The latter is a bourgeois area of expensive mansions and luxury cars. Place Trocadéro offers a great view of the Eiffel Tower. The 15th arrondissement could be a good choice for accommodation; local hotels have relatively low prices, while the Champ de Mars is a 10-15 minute walk, provided that you are staying within the Grenelle quarter.
For group tours, as a rule, accommodation is in the 9th arrondissement; it is quite calm and inexpensive. The main attraction is the Grand Opera, and its distinctive “face” is its shops, including the Printemps and Galeries Lafayette shopping centers.
In general, tourists speak well of the 11th arrondissement. It’s not far from the center, and this part of the city has very well-developed transport links. Still, this is more of a popular district than a decent one - local bars and clubs have fun at night, and in the evenings you can meet drug dealers on Place de la Bastille.
The 13th arrondissement is also considered calm, despite the large number of Asians. However, the local “China Town” has long become something of a tourist attraction. According to reviews, there are decent and inexpensive hotels in the area.
Districts 12 and 14 are simpler, cheaper and more democratic; the districts can be called relatively safe and calm.
There's nothing wrong with the 17th arrondissement, but it's far from the center and there aren't many attractions here.

Unfavorable
In Paris you have to be on your guard no matter where you are. In busy areas, try to hide your money and hold your bag tightly, and after dark it is better not to walk alone along secluded streets, even in the center. The capital of France is home to a huge number of visitors from Asia and African countries, and they behave, to put it mildly, indelicately. So, the 10th, 18th, and 19th arrondissements are not suitable for a quiet life in Paris.
In the 10th there are two stations - Northern and Eastern, which already makes it noisy and dirty. This area has long been home to displaced people.
It's possible to live in the 18th arrondissement if you're careful (the Moulin Rouge area is even fun). Prosperous townspeople here coexist with poor migrants; it is better to settle away from the borders with the 10th and 19th arrondissements.
Thanks to the efforts of the Parisian authorities, the 19th arrondissement is becoming more popular, but it cannot be called calm. If you decide to settle here, try not to attract attention with expensive clothes and gadgets. Tourists come here to admire the parks of Buttes-Chaumont and La Villette.
The previously inauspicious 20th Arrondissement has in recent years acquired a decent appearance and earned a reputation as a developing area. The district has long been considered the main refuge of migrants and criminals, as has happened historically. Today the situation is not so hopeless, but we recommend choosing a hotel away from the periphery. Moreover, hotels in the 20th arrondissement are quite inexpensive.
In the area there is the Père Lachaise cemetery - in the past the poorest outback, and today - one of the most beautiful and famous burial places in the world.
Arriving in the French capital, not all tourists think about which districts of Paris they will visit on their trip. They are interested in several famous sights that are definitely worth seeing and taking photos against their background. Meanwhile, the magical city is fraught with a large number of charming corners and wonderful architectural monuments, located far from the tourist trail and therefore less famous.
If you want to enjoy Paris to the fullest and explore it as best as possible, then you need to learn more about the city’s districts. This will help not only to find your way around the French capital, but also to create an ideal travel route for yourself. What are they, the districts of Paris, and what interesting things can be found in each of them?
How the capital of France is divided
Administratively, the French capital is divided into 20 sections called arrondissements. Each of them is a separate “town”, headed by its own mayor. All counties are assigned a specific number from 1 to 20 and a postal code. The authorities decided to number them starting from the city center and moving in a spiral from west to east to the outskirts of the capital. The result is 3 spiral circles.

Guide to Paris and France
Ask a question to an expertThe smallest ones were located in the center, and the outlying districts became large in area. The map of Paris arrondissements, when you look at it, resembles a snail. All areas were divided into 4 blocks, setting up a police station in each of them.
Central areas of the city
The oldest arrondissements of Paris are located in its center. The historical core of the capital, from which in 52 AD. and the history of the city began, is the 1st arrondissement of Paris, the Louvre. Located in the western part and on the opposite right bank territories adjacent to the Seine, the area is small in size. But due to its rich history, it is literally “stuffed” with attractions. Here is the largest museum on the planet, the Louvre, after which the district is named.
The 1st arrondissement of Paris was occupied by a huge market for more than 8 centuries, described in detail by E. Zola in the novel “The Belly of Paris”. Now a multi-level shopping center-forum has been built here. The architectural gem of the area is the Sainte-Chapelle chapel. The Comédie Française theater is located in this district; Molière himself staged his productions here. History buffs will love the Louvre area.
The exact age of Paris is unknown, but it is definitely more than 2 millennia. All this time, palaces and slums, fortresses and factories, churches and prisons were built and destroyed completely chaotically on its territory. By the end of the 19th century, the city was a chaotic conglomeration of streets, alleys, squares, vacant lots and ruins. All this disgrace clearly did not correspond to the status of the capital of the empire, which was proclaimed by Napoleon III. He decided to radically reconstruct Paris. This matter was entrusted to Baron Haussmann, who had a reputation as a purposeful, effective manager. It is to him that we owe the current appearance of the capital of France. Before reconstruction, there were no magnificent boulevards and embankments that so adorn Paris, and the well-known symbol also appeared thanks to the energy of this baron. The resulting radial structure of the city's layout also suggested the method of its administrative division, which is followed to this day.
Today, the territory of Greater Paris is divided into 20 districts, differing in their history, infrastructure, and traditions. The numbering goes clockwise, starting with the first arrondissement - the Louvre, so that the administrative map of the city resembles a spiral shell of a sea mollusk. Each house has a sign with the county number in front of the street name. Sometimes these signs are duplicated in other languages.
