Paris is where you go to fall in love, write your novel, or drench yourself in art, architecture, and conversations in sidewalk cafés. And around each corner, modern life and centuries of history rush dizzily forward to meet you. Start your own Paris adventure here. In Paris, districts (arrondissements) are simply numbered from 1 to 20: the first district is right in the middle of the city and the others are arranged around it in a clockwise spiral. This guide will highlight the main sites in each district so that you can make the most of your trip to Paris.
