More than 27 million tourists come to Paris each year, making it the most visited city in the world. A variety of guidebooks and websites cater to these visitors, listing the best places to go, the best hotels, and the best restaurants. However, planning a trip to Paris can be overwhelming for precisely this reason. A simple travel guide of the city is the best guide to planning a stay in Paris.
Paris is divided into twenty administrative districts, or arrondissements. These numbered areas start in the center of Paris with the First, and spiral out like a snail until they hit the Twentieth, which is the farthest from the center. In addition, Paris is divided into the Right Bank (Rive Droit) and Left Bank (Rive Gauche), the north and south areas of the city, respectively. Finally, though many guides and Parisians speak of “quartiers” or quarters, these do not refer to any official boundaries, but rather areas that often traverse the borders between several arrondissements. For example, the Latin Quarter, which includes the Sorbonne and Hemingway’s apartment, is in the Fifth and Sixth arrondissements, while the Marais, the former swampland of Paris and now home to many of its chic-est galleries and boutiques, is in the Third and Fourth arrondissements.
