Paris is usually divided into the left and the right bank on the River Seine. The left bank has traditionally had a reputation as the bohemian and artistic side, and the right bank is home to many tourist attractions, banks and great shopping. The city is also divided into 20 different neighborhoods (arrondissements). When looking at Holiday Rentals in Paris it is a good idea to think about which neighborhood you want to stay in.
For example the 5th arrondissement, also known as the Latin Quarter, is popular with tourists and students, and accommodation is moderately priced for Paris standards. On the other hand the 6th arrondissement is fashionable and usually more expensive, and has trendy restaurants and some of the best art galleries. The Marais area, around the 3rd and 4th arrondissements, is especially popular with locals for entertainment and nightlife.
