| About
Paris |
Paris
is divided into 20 different
neighbourhoods called arrondissements. Arrondissements
are named according to their number. For example, you might
live in the 5th arrondissement, which would be written as
5ème in French.
The
suburbs are called the banlieue. They are generally more
residential and serene than the city. The
suburbs to the west of Paris (Neuilly, Boulogne, Saint Cloud,
Levallois) are the most desirable.
Each
neighbourhood in Paris has its own special character which
we give you a brief insight in the table below. |
| Which
neighborhood is best for you? |
It's
impossible to generalise each neighbourhood, but the following
should give you a broad idea of the differences between neighbourhoods
in Paris.
Price per m2 Prices in Paris range from €6500
to €10,000 per square metre for a quality
apartment in a popular arrondissement. |

center of the Marais, this is a lively

oldest parts of Paris. |

enchanting Latin Quarter. This
neighborhood takes its name from the Sorbonne, where Latin
was the common tongue for all students during the Middle Ages.

and students mix freely with professionals in its winding
streets. The rue Mouffetard is a primary artery where shops,
international restaurants and student bars and cafés
are found. |

is filled with shop and is a tourists hotspot, while in the

intermingled with business establishments. This area is somewhat
similar to parts of the 16th, but is generally less pretentious. |
