A cultural guide to Paris
The City of Light continues to enchant visitors, with some of the world’s most stunning art and fashion, and a revitalized dining scene
Key neighborhoods
City Center
Overview
The city center has been reinvigorated in recent years by the opening of the cosmopolitan luxury department store La Samaritaine and the modern art mecca, the Bourse de Commerce. While there’s a bevy of stately hotels here, the Hotel Bachaumont, a reasonably priced design hotel set on a cobblestone street, is well located.

Canal Saint-Martin
Overview
Further off the tourist beat but worth a visit is the neighborhood of Canal Saint-Martin—a trendy suburb that skirts the waterway snaking its way through the 10th arrondissement. This is a foodie hotspot, with plenty of small specialty stores, coffee shops, and pedestrian charm. Nearby, the newly opened Martin Brudnizki-designed La Fantaisie hotel is the latest coveted address, set amid gardens with a rooftop bar.
