Where to Stay in PARIS, France

Hey guys Sean here from the Tour Guy and today i'm gonna show you the best places you should stay in Paris not like specific hotels but areas whether you're in Paris for art, shopping, nightlife, or overall cultural experience there's a perfect spot in the city for you to stay this video will walk you through all my favorite neighborhoods in Paris and help you understand which one is best for your stay before we do that I need to drop some foundational knowledge about Paris on you. Number one Paris is split into what we call "Arrondissements" which are similar to districts if you're looking at the center of the city the "Arrondissements" are organized like a spiral with the lower numbers close to the center and the higher ones reaching more to the outskirts of the city. Number two so if you're planning to go to Paris you most likely watch some sort of French film and heard the terms Rive Gauche and Rive Droite, it basically means left bank and right bank Rive Gauche, which is on the south side ascend is the left bank and that's where you can find the Latin Quarter which is super famous and La Sorbonne University which is like a mega famous University in France and all over the world historically a ton of students lived there and was a poor side of Seine They're pretty fun. The Rive Droite is the north side of the Seine or the right bank and that includes basically all the wealthy combinations so left bank was poor and right bank with rich now Paris is just like a super expensive city so there really is no class difference from the right the left side but just different Asians and different field well I just like all water another thing you need to know to sound like a local when you're Paris is the different neighborhoods so we went over the fact they're called a room decimal but the locals just refer to them as like the fifth so instead of the fifth of Rome DeSimone they would just say I'm going to the fifth for the 18th or the fourteenth or wherever they're going it's just like a way to do things locally quick recap Paris is split into what we call a run decimal which are neighborhoods people often refer to different sizes City as red gush a weaved wealth which is the left bank and the right back and then people often just refer to each neighborhood by their number and not the 15th aroung DC mall they'll just say B 15th at least locals out of the 20 are on DeSimone we've narrowed down to the top for that we recommend staying in because of their character the attractions and overall pod so let's take a walk around and explore each one let's start with one of my favorites la Mer a known for chic boutiques the Jewish quarter LGBT scene a neighborhood feel but very close to the main attractions like the Louvre it lemon meringue spills over from the 3rd around assume all into the fourth so it's hard to pinpoint which one exactly it's really in so we can kind of just say building the neighborhood is known as one of Paris's most chic and diverse spots and has exceptional cuisine most of Paris does but this one particular however lamare wasn't always a hip culture or HubSpot interesting fact lamare translates to the swamp since back before the 16th century the land was where the city's vegetables were grown in irrigated fields during the 16th 18th century the booze wah the rich class developed the land and built residences whether or not you decide to stay in LA Marais you definitely need to at least enjoy a meal there if you want to explore you know amazing places to eat drink champagne and eat oysters and try like typical traditional parish sit-down cuisine we recommend our la marea Paris food tour it was actually designed by local Parisians and it's an amazing taste of power Asian nightlife and cuisine 100% recommend this and it's the best way to experience our favorite food district city la Marais is most famous for being home to the Jewish and gay quarters of Paris beyond that it's also famous for its shopping if you want to pursue independent boutiques rather than posh designer stores this neighborhood is a definite thing you should check out while you're in La Marais make sure you check out plus des Vosges Paris's oldest square you know there's also not Saddam which is technically not looking in LA marae but it's still considered the 4th a room DC mall so be sure to check out as well so I'm in sight scene all day I need a little break while I'm doing that you just wouldn't mind you like this video like button if you loved this video subscribe so you all relate it's consonances it comes out otherwise I'm gonna go get a coffee so now on to the Latin Quarter known for bookstores student populations dive bars budget-friendly accommodations and restaurants Latin Quarter is an awesome neighborhood we recommend staying in while in Paris it's located in Paris's fifth aroan DeSimone it's home to Paris's oldest university La Sorbonne the Latin Quarter is a lively neighborhood mainly inhabited by students the neighborhood got its name from the high concentration of Latin spoken around the La Sorbonne University campus in the Middle Ages the area is also home to ku move time a great Market Street where you'll be able to find cheese's bread and

remodel of the Shakespeare and Co shop that existed in 1941 it closed during the German invasion and now we have a reopen when the store reopened it became a popular research and writing hub for literary greats like F scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway located a bit south of Latin Quarter you can find bonus another charming area of Paris that's fun to walk around it here you'll find lots of prep Ruiz as well as coffee a center of Contemporary Art you will also find the Paris catacombs one of my absolute favorite place to check out in Paris this underground network of tunnels is created due to lack of grave space in Paris and now house the remains of over 6 million bodies if you're someone who enjoys eerie stories and mystery are privileged access Paris catacombs filled with secret rooms is the perfect experience for you it's important to note that the line to end of the Paris catacombs can last literally two to three hours especially during the summer which is peak Tour season so skipping the lines is absolutely vital when visiting an ossuary because the Latin quarters student population and high concentration of dive bars bookstores coffee shops and other perks for traveling on a budget we recommend staying in this area if you are part of the younger crowd however its close neighbor Senjem nd print is right by this area and offers a more upscale ambiance well that leads us right into san jamar depressed known for luxurious shopping in hotels if you're seeking a classic phrase neighborhood feel stay in the 6r on these small the Santa Monica neighborhood is filled with countless bars and cafes including the oldest cafe in Paris they put a cup the streets are filled with interesting history this is the neighborhood where Ernest Hemingway and Albert Kim moose hung out and what Pablo Picasso painted the famous got a Myka as you walk the streets of sin German you'll find that something seems very familiar this is because most of classic paintings of Parisian cafes were most likely inspired by the iconic cafes that line the streets such as the doom mega and Cafe du Clos in the 6th you'll be only a short walk from beautiful Luxembourg Gardens and
