Canal St-Martin, Bastille, and Oberkampf
The Bastille used to be the star of this area and a stop here—home turf of the French Revolution—was a must. The small streets forking off the Place de la Bastille still buzz at night, with... (more) -
The Champs-Elysées
Welcome to bling-bling Paris. Make no mistake, the Champs-Elysées, while ceding some of its elegance in recent times, remains the city's—if not the world's—most famous avenue. Like New... (more) -
The Faubourg St-Honoré and Les Halles

St-Germain
If you had to choose the most classically parisien neighborhood in Paris, this would be it. St-Germain-des-Prés has it all: genteel blocks lined with upscale art galleries, storied cafés... (more) -
