Paris counties and their features

Currently, travel has become more than affordable for almost all citizens of the Russian Federation. And this applies to both the countries of the East and Europe. A special place in such a route, as a rule, is occupied by the famous city of love - Paris. Everyone who has ever visited the capital of France knows perfectly well that the streets and districts are very convenient there, so it is almost impossible to get lost. And all thanks to the fact that there are so-called "districts" of Paris, which divide the city into cultural and ethnic zones. About how many of them and what are their features, read in this article.

The parishes of Paris are made up of twenty components, the numbering of which is clockwise, beginning with the first, the name of which is the Louvre. It is the oldest part of the capital of France, on the territory of which the main sights of the city are located. Among them are the Conciergerie, Saint-Chapelle, the Carusel arch, the Tuileries garden, the Palais Royal and, of course, the Louvre museum itself . This administrative district is located on the right bank of the River Seine, so it also includes the islands of Cité.

Located on the right bank of the Seine, the parishes of Paris are mainly the focus of historical monuments and architectural attractions. The third, fourth and fifth districts are the places where, over the past centuries, mansions, museums and cathedrals have been built, which have preserved their former beauty to the present day. The exception is only the second district, behind which the reputation of "banking" was fixed. Since the nineteenth century, it was here that institutions were built in which exchange games, banking trades and other financial and economic operations took place.

The Paris 6th and 7th arrondissements are located on the left bank of the river. Luxembourg and Palais-Bourbon - areas of chic restaurants, expensive boutiques and exquisite galleries. It is also important to note that the Eiffel Tower is erected on the territory of the 7th administrative district, which has long been a symbol of the whole of France. And on the opposite bank of the Seine is the eighth district of the capital, whose name is the Champs Elysees - speaks for itself. And among the attractions that he can boast of, you can still call the Arc de Triomphe, the Madeleine Church, the Small and Grand Palaces, the Alexander III Bridge and the incredible beauty of the Saint-Lazare train station.

Further we move to the 9th arrondissement of Paris, which closes the chain of old districts in this city. Here you will find the most beautiful buildings of the past centuries, and modern shops, and restaurants designed for any income. Also here were opened hotels of the middle class, in which there are always a lot of Russian tourists. But the 10th arrondissement of Paris, under the name of Anclo-Saint-Laurent, has not a very good reputation. The region is famous for its "red lights", therefore it is not recommended for tourists to be here unaccompanied, especially at night.

All the other districts of Paris are located far from the city center, that's why they are mostly populated by local residents and emigrants from different countries. There are both residential arrays and market centers where they sell all kinds of products and household goods.
