Where to stay in Paris

Neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood guidance for Paris, France: which areas suit which travellers, what they cost, and the stays we list in each.

• 7th / Eiffel quarter (4) — Monumental calm Tower views and orderly streets — Paris with training wheels.
• Saint-Germain-des-Prés (4) — Left Bank café classicism Flore, bookshops, and the Seine — the Paris of the mind.
• Canal Saint-Martin (2) — Iron footbridges + natural wine Canal-side picnics and the 10th's best coffee.
• Latin Quarter (2) — Student-and-scholar energy Panthéon, cinemas, and cheap crêpes between lectures.
• Le Marais (3) — Medieval lanes turned boutique Falafel, galleries, and pre-Haussmann Paris on foot.
• Montmartre (2) — Hilltop village behind the postcard Touristy at Sacré-Cœur, genuinely villagey two streets back.
