City Guides

Paris

Published on:

The Batignolles, Montmartre, and Pigalle Guide
Venture north, up high above the city, and you’ll discover Pigalle and Montmartre—home to the colossal Sacré-Cœur Basilica, the still-going Moulin Rouge, and the world-class Clignancourt market. It’s also home to the new bohemians—those artists, writers, and thinkers who flock to libertarian Paris. And the restaurants, hotels, and cafés that have sprung up in recent years reflect it.
The Paris Guide: Bastille, Belleville, and Oberkampf
In Paris, the 20th dances along the city’s edge with streets and avenues peppered with small shops, tiny fruit markets, Parisians on motorbikes, and some of the most exciting dining in the city.
The Paris Guide: The Marais, République, and Notre-Dame
Le Marais is the West Village of Paris. The tangle of streets starting at Place des Vosges and moving north are the holy grail of French-girl style. Nearby Canal Saint-Martin’s waterways are bordered by banks teeming with resolutely French restaurants serving biodynamic wines by the glass and mounds of tartare to the bright young things crowding every table.
What’s New and Great in Paris
We’d never pretend to know every corner of the French capital—but that won’t stop us from trying. And of course, stumbling upon new quartiers is part of the beauty of this city. So enjoy the guide to Paris’s newcomers—plus a bunch of our greatest hits we couldn't bear to omit—and if you get lost somewhere in the 6th and stumble into an undiscovered brasserie, bonne soirée.
The Latin Quarter, Les Invalides, and Saint-Germain-des-Prés Guide
The 5th, 6th, and 7th arrondissements are an introduction to storybook Paris—the one we read about in romantic epics, saw in Renoir masterpieces, or more recently watched in Nancy Meyers movies. These neighborhoods live up to every beautiful preconceived notion you have about the City of Light.
The Paris Guide: Louvre, Place Vendôme, and Champs-Élysées
The central heart of Paris—the 1st, 2nd, and 8th—is where you find the crown jewels, the must-sees. Legendary landmarks—the Louvre, the Vendôme Column, the Tuileries Garden—are the postcards, the bedrocks of these interior arrondissements.
Paris in August
Paris gets quiet in August, when—in a stroke of brilliance—France gives itself the month off. While many restaurants and boutiques shut down for vacances, there's something nice about visiting during this quiet spell, and some of our favorite places do stay open.
