The city of Paris is divided into 20 areas, known as an arrondissement and each has its own unique attractions. Visitors new to traveling in Paris may want to consider staying in hotels and/or apartments in the 1^st, 4^th, 7th, or 19^th arrondissement as these tend to be the safest and most “family friendly” locations.

 

1^st Arrondissement

The 1^st is on the Right Bank of the Seine River and has a variety of attractions such as the Louvre Museum. Because of the central location there are quite a few hotels in the area, however, a Paris family hotel in this area may be slightly expensive. The area offers several apartments or loft rentals in or near the 1^st arrondissement that are typically less expensive than the hotels in the area. One of the best benefit to staying in the 1^st arrondissement is that the majority of tourist destinations and family restaurants are within walking distance of the area hotels.
