The Marais

a clock tower in the middle of a city

One of the trendiest neighborhoods in Paris, the Marais exhibits a distinctive atmosphere compared to its notable neighbors on the Right Bank. The Marais’s identity is defined not by classic Parisian landmarks but rather by its reputation as the epicenter of Parisian fashion and food culture. Style connoisseurs and foodies flock to the neighborhood’s network of alley-like streets which are constantly bustling. On weekends, the streets are crowded with shoppers moving in and out of trendy boutiques or art lovers viewing the newest exhibition. On a lazy Sunday, you’ll discover the “BoBos” (bourgeois bohemians) enjoying brunch or the last rays of sunshine at an outdoor café. After dark, the neighborhood comes alive as chic Parisians populate the bars for an after-work drink or dine at one of the area’s ultra-hip eateries. For visitors who’ve explored their sightseeing checklist, the Marais is the ideal place to understand Paris outside of the guidebooks. Though the tone of the neighborhood leans towards trendy Parisians, the Marais’ diversity offers something for everyone. Along Rue des Rosier, you’ll witness part of the city’s Jewish quarter containing traditional delis mixed with fashionable boutiques – as well as the street’s most famous resident, L’as du Fallafel, renowned for the best falafel globally. In the area known as the Upper Marais, a broad section located in the 3rd arrondissement, you’ll discover the Marché des Enfants Rouges, a 17th-century market off Rue de Bretagne. The marché stands as one of the most unique in Paris and somewhat resembles a farmer’s market and a food court providing an assortment of cuisines including Moroccan couscous, Japanese bentos, and traditional French fare. For a brief respite, head to the historic Place des Vosges for a picnic on the grass or stroll under the vaulted arches.

Saint Germain

The Saint-Germain-des-Prés district exemplifies classic Parisian charm with its lively collection of galleries, eateries, and jazz clubs on the Left Bank. Boasting elite shops along the bustling Boulevard Saint Germain and the regal tranquility of the Jardin du Luxembourg garden, this quarter attracts both locals and visitors alike. While the café culture popular amongst artists, intellectuals, and writers of yesteryear still exists, the neighborhood is now renowned as one of the most affluent parts of the city. This reputation draws a well-heeled crowd as well as top names in food and fashion. Observers will see stylishly dressed shoppers perusing the smart boutiques near Place Michel-Debré such as Tod’s and Christian Louboutin or heading down Rue Cherche Midi towards Le Bon Marché. Saint Germain also shelters some of the city`s most esteemed artisans and hosts arguably the highest concentration of Meilleur Ouvrier de France in Paris, an honor bestowed only upon the finest craftspeople comparable to an Olympic gold medal and more coveted than a Michelin star. Saint Germain is abundant and comprises MOF chocolate makers, pastry chefs, florists, and chefs du cuisine. The denizens of this neighborhood demand nothing less than excellence. Though crowded with visitors at times, a major advantage is finding shops and eateries open when other city areas lay quiet. An often overlooked gem is the Marché Couvert Saint Germain, a covered marketplace frequented by locals housing some distinguished vendors in the country including one of France`s best butchers. Sunday evenings always pose a challenge for dining out, even in a cosmopolitan city like Paris. Heading down Rue de Seine and Rue de Buci, observers will discover plenty of options for a light bite, full meal, or nightcap.

The Latin Quarter

a crowd of people standing in front of a building

The Latin Quarter, primarily known as the center of student life in Paris, has more to offer than merely lively bars and inexpensive eateries. Regular visitors will find the neighborhood is perfect for experiencing classic Parisian charm along winding cobblestone streets while also coming across some new surprises along the way. Locate a tranquil spot away from the student hangouts and you’ll have access to some of the best cuisine and architecture in the city. Being based near the leafy Place Monge square, hosting an open-air market three times weekly, guarantees access to some of the finest fruits and vegetables in Paris. Nearby Rue Mouffetard provides plenty of local color as it bustles with specialty food shops, cafes, and restaurants. Further north, close to the Place Maubert, you’ll be steps from Notre Dame and the original stores of Laurent Dubois (cheese) and Eric Kayser (baguettes). You will also uncover some of the most diverse architecture in the city here. Being Paris’s oldest district with roads dating back to the 16th century, the Latin Quarter holds treasures from nearly every era. From Roman ruins to the fortress-like Medieval museum, from the luminous-domed neoclassical Pantheon to the architecturally innovative Institut du Monde Arabe, you’ll be set to reveal a new facet of the city.

The 7th

people walking down a street next to a flower shop

Individuals paying their first visit to Paris will find the 7th arrondissement serves as an optimal base for exploration. This neighborhood encompasses many iconic facets synonymous with the City of Lights—the Eiffel Tower, the Seine River, notable museums, exquisite architecture, charming markets, high-end shopping establishments, and world-renowned restaurants. Positioning yourself between the Champs des Mars and Invalides districts ensures ideal proximity to enjoy some of the city`s most prominent landmarks and highlights of the surrounding area. A prime example lies along the Rue Cler, a lively marketplace containing numerous vendors selling cheese, fresh produce, wine, baguettes, and anything further needed to eat in the classic French manner. On nice days, head to the riverfront like the locals for an after-work apéro or picnic. The Berges de Seines area roughly between the Musee D’Orsay and Pont D’alma accommodates a variety of possibilities. A superb spot encompasses the Pont Alexander III bridge, one of the most beautiful Beaux-Arts bridges in Paris, where scenic views extend to the Grand Palais just across the water. Throughout the day, families will find the location accommodating with multiple play areas for children such as a climbing wall and converted shipping containers redesigned as miniature exhibitions. The 7th arrondissement affords fun, active experiences. If aimless about lodging selection then this serves as a superb starting point. The Pullman hotel neighboring the Eiffel Tower (though administratively across the border in the 15th arrondissement) exemplifies the finest accommodation near this famed landmark

South Pigalle

a large building with a clock on the side of it

For the tourist who wants to live more like a local head to South Pigalle, the city’s most up-and-coming destination. Having shaken off the vestiges of its notorious red-light district, South Pigalle (or SoPi as it has recently been christened) has transitioned into one of Paris’s most desirable neighborhoods. The area literally south of Pigalle (or Boulevard Clichy) is particularly charming and out of the tourist throng. You’ll still be walking distance to the hills of Montmartre and the Sacre Coeur, but instead of wide Haussmann boulevards, you’ll find quiet tree-lined streets dotted with fashionable boutiques, cafes, and a thriving restaurant and bar scene. On weekend afternoons you’ll see families pushing baby strollers along the leafy Avenue Trudaine or heading to the park to watch their children play. Sacre Coeur looms in the distance, creating picture postcard scenes out of even the most everyday moments. That same square transforms every Friday evening into a lively farmers market with vendors who travel in from as far as the Loire Valley to sell some of the best farm-made cheeses, meats, and produce available. Rue des Martyrs, the main artery, is a foodie paradise with numerous award-winning shops dotting the drag including Sebastian Gaudard and Arnaud Delmontel. Shoppers will have their choice among the numerous boutiques that have been popping up, from the fashion-forward Maison Kitsune to one of a kind housewares at Le Rocketship. At night, denizens have a bevy of options for dining and bar hopping. Along the quaint Rue Henry Monnier, the NY based Buvette Gastrotheque has an outpost, or finish with a nightcap at the Grand Pigalle Hotel. And for the after-hours crowd, head to bars such as Le Carmen where you can dance in baroque salons until 6 am.
