Where to Stay in PARIS, France

My last visit to Paris, I stayed at the 16th and it was quiet, safe and felt far from the chaos. I also recommend that area, even though it wasn't as centralised. The place that I stayed was near the Victor Hugo stop and a short stop from the Arc de Triomphe. My first ever trip to Paris, I stayed at a small hotel near the Opéra and was walking distance to stops and quite centralised. That area is a good option as well.

[@TheTourGuyVids]

Thank you

[@lisadawley]

If you want to live like a local, stay in the 15th near Rue St. Charles. My condo had views of the Eiffel tower, quick metro to wherever I needed to go, and access to Rue St Charles, which is a wonderful street lined with restaurants and all kinds of food shops. I would do my daily shopping, getting fresh bakery, roasted chicken, desserts, charcuterie, etc., stop in for a limoncello at the Italian restaurant, and more. Loved being in this part of town!

It's sounds like an awesome place to live..i wish I could live in Paris but I can't afford it.

He never mentioned Île Saint-Louis. I’ve stayed on the right and the left banks but my favorite spot is right in the middle of the Seine on Île Saint-Louis. It’s Paris in miniature with all the shops and restaurants you could want. A bit crowded but what part of Paris isn’t.

[@ralfzimmerbeutel1348]

I you want to be closer to a more "normal" Parisian life I would not recommend to stay in St. German, Quartier Latin, Montmartre or Le Marais. These places are worth to visit but overcrowded and full of tourist traps. Rather go to arrondissements 11 & 12 east of Bastille (nice hotels, restaurants & bars...) or 7 & 17 if you prefer a more upscale atmosphere. But at the end it is pretty much on your age, taste and expectations... Enjoy Paris!

[@nedludd7622]

On the Rive Droite, the East and North of Paris are far cheaper than the West side. Certain quarters are fine, but a few are dodgy. The Latin Quarter is expensive and few dive bars. East and South of it are cheaper. BTW, it is said "Camu" and not "Camus". There is more than one red-light district in Paris.

[@charlesvanderhoog7056]

You are right in naming these quarters. (It is LE Marais, not la). You are a man and therefore forgot to mention that the Saint Germain district, the sixth, is where 90% of all fashion design boutiques are situated. It is a paradise for women to walk and shop in. I used to stay in Quartier Lain when young, today I stay in St. Germain. You also forgot to mention that in Le Marais there are little tea and coffee shops where one could relax and recouperate from a long walk in an almost private setting. I know Paris very well.

You've got your "Shakespear & Company" history mixed up. The store you show is not the original, and Hemingway never set foot in it. The original was located on Rue l'Orlean and never reopened after the war. The store you show was opened in the late 1950s and was renamed in the early 1960s as an homage to Sylvia Beach, the owner of the original.

An interesting and informative video. I never take the metro, as you're missing out on everything between here and there. Thus, I stay in the 1st arrondissement, which makes everything, but the Arc d'Triumphe within an hour or so walking distance. Yes, pricey, but so worth it.

"Shakespeare and Co"? The "Co" is an abbreviation so it's actually spoken as "Shakespeare and Company".

@@TheTourGuyVids If you don't live in a French-speaking country, your French is perfectly fine. Just a quick tip: the last letters of words are often not pronounced and that is especially true for the final "e" (feminine) and final "s" (plural). But it is sometimes also true for surname. For e.g., "Camus" is pronounced "Camu" (no final "s").

@@TheTourGuyVids I speak what I consider fairly good conversational French, but when I try to speak it, especially in Parisian restaurants, the wait staff usually just switch to English so as not to hear me butcher their language any further--haha. The first time I went to Paris, I stayed in the 11th and many of the folks who live there do not speak much English and appreciated that I spoke any French at all :) Tip to visitors: If you ask a Parisian if they speak English they will often say "No" even if they do. So don't ask! Just say "Bonjour" and they'll immediately know you're a tourist. And always say please, thank you, and good bye (in French). Good manners are very important to Parisians!
