The 7th Arrondissement
France’s capital is carved up into 20 arrondissement, or administrative districts. Think of them as neighborhoods, with each having its own characteristics, styles and proud residents.
The VII arrondissement is called La septième in French and includes some of Paris’ most famous and well known tourist attractions, including:
- Eiffel Tower: needs no explanation!
- Hôtel des Invalides: easily spotted due to its gold dome, this is Napoleon’s resting place
- Musée d’Orsay: museum in an old train station housing famous works of art
- Musée Rodin: a gorgeous home and garden belonging to the French sculptor
- Musée du Quai Branly: art & culture museum showcasing Africa, Asia, Oceania and the Americas

Stay Here if..
Nothing beats seeing the Eiffel Tower straight from your window!
During the day, you can picnic on the Eiffel tower lawn while at night, you can watch the Iron Lady sparkle. Once the sun goes down, the Eiffel Tower twinkles its lights for a minute or so, every hour on the hour.
Most apartments in this district were constructed in the Haussman era, and have that classic Parisian architecture look and feel.
The area is residential, with upper class families settling here, so it’s a fantastic way to live like a lucky Parisian! If it’s your first visit to Paris or you’re in town with a loved one, there’s no where more romantic or magical to stay.

Airbnbs in Paris: Know Before You Book
Apartments in Paris, especially in the 7th arondissement, are old and historic.
Space is a premium
Parisian apartments are marketed on a “room” basis, as opposed to the number of “bedrooms” a place has. This is the typical lingo for renting or buying a place. So, double check the Airbnb description. It will often note the number of rooms, usually meaning a living room and a bedroom.
Best for Couples
Make sure you’re looking at the number of beds. The 7th arrondissement is a more upscale neighborhood, and often the homes on airbnb with a view of the Eiffel Tower are best suited for just 2 people.
Pack Light
Parisien buildings often have beautiful inner courtyards and grand staircases, but not many will have elevators or AC. If they do have an elevator, it will often be tiny – just enough to fit one or two people. Try to pack light!

Floors are Numbered Differently
Floors in France are numbered differently than in America. The First Floor is always the story above the ground floor, while the ground floor is called the rez de chaussée. To simplify it in your head, think of the floor number as the number of stairs you have to climb!

Visiting Paris – Travel Checklist
We took a red eye to Paris from JFK. You can find cheap Paris flights from low cost carriers almost all year round – check for flight deals here.
Paris has some of the best museums in the world. I spent an entire summer living in the city, visiting different churches, museums and historic homes and still couldn’t get enough. If you plan to sight see, look into a Paris Pass – it’s a great value! The pass can be purchased for multiple days and allows you to skip the line at 60+ attractions. See the full list of included sights and attractions here.
Lastly, be sure to visit Paris with travel insurance. Whether you get injured and need to be hospitalized, your phone gets stolen, or a flight delay leaves you with nothing but the clothes on your back, travel insurance will help when you need it most. During our recent trip, riots in Paris shut down the city center and forced a closure of all the main sights (the Louvre, Versailles, etc). Get a quote for your trip here.
