• 3rd & 4th district : Cathedral of Notre Dame – Le Marais – Centre Pompidou
• 8th, 16th & 17th district : Champs-Élysées – Madeleine – Trocadéro – Bois de Boulogne
• 9th & 18th district : Opéra Garnier – Haussmann – Montmartre – Pigalle
• 10th & 11th district : Place de la République – Bastille – Canal Saint Martin

There’s life outside of the Left Bank. Many travelers think they have to stay there, and are comfortable surrounded by lots of tourists and English-speakers. But other neighborhoods in Paris are great to explore and staying in one gives you a better sense of the Parisian life.

The more you get into the epicenter of Paris, the more hotels will be expensive. The South of Paris (13th, 14th) doesn’t have lots of major landmarks, this is why the hotels are more affordable than in other districts.

The Palace of Versailles, South of Paris, and Disneyland Paris, East of Paris, are one hour away from Paris by train. You need 2 hours for a round trip from Paris Hotels.
