Where to Stay in Paris

Before choosing a hotel, one usually wonders which area or district is best to stay in. Especially in Paris, a city that is territorially vast, it is easy to get lost when selecting the best “arrondissements.”

The areas we suggest are well-positioned geographically, close to metro stations and major landmarks, quiet, and safe.

To start, we recommend staying in central areas and not venturing too far into the suburbs, where some areas may not be very peaceful. Additionally, to help you navigate the list below, use metro stations as a reference for each district.

Recommended areas:
Trocadero – Passy
Champs-Élysées
Montparnasse
St. Germain Des Prés
Grands Boulevards
Opéra
Latin Quarter
Bastille
Nation

Areas to avoid:
South Alesia
South Chinatown
Belleville
La Villette
Batignolles
North Montmartre
Les Halles
