Interior designer, Paris resident, and\nELLE DECOR A-List\ntalent Hugo Toro recommends\nMarché des Enfants Rouges\n, the oldest covered market in the city, for lunch. Hungry patrons queue up for falafel and shawarma from\nL’As du Fallafel\n. For a break from the hustle and bustle, Place des Vosges supplies a lovely, serene green space for picnics and slow strolls. “I appreciate the 23-suite\nMaison Proust\nfor its elegance and peacefulness, a brilliant counterbalance to the lively neighborhood,” he tells us.\nAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\nMontmartre\nAlexander Spatari\n\/\/\nGetty Images\nWith its postcard-pretty cobbled streets, vineyards, artist studios, and two historic windmills, Montmartre looks more like a hilltop village than a district in a major metropolitan city.

By Lindsay Cohn Published: Jun 3, 2024 ![bookmarks](https://www.elledecor.com/_assets/design-tokens/fre/static/icons/saved.ad81f1a.svg?primary=%2523000000) ![Open share options](https://www.elledecor.com/_assets/design-tokens/fre/static/icons/social/sharing.89c15b8.svg) Whether you’re in town for Paris Haute Couture Week or are planning a trip to La Ville Lumière in the coming months—as so many folks do each summer—there’s more than enough food, culture, fashion, and [stylish hotels](https://www.elledecor.com/life-culture/travel/g44190663/best-hotels-paris/) to fill multiple itineraries. Talking to locals is a great way to get the inside scoop on the best things to see and do. It also guarantees you won’t stick to the well-trodden tourist path. After all, the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre are just two spots on a dizzyingly long list of worthwhile attractions. Each area has something unique and special to offer, showing off a different side of Paris. Grands Boulevards is a go-to for lively nightlife. Le Marais houses beautiful 17th-century mansions and boutique shopping. Montmartre delivers a dose of hilly provincial appeal within the borders of the city. From Saint-Germain-des-Prés to South Pigalle, these are the best areas to stay in Paris—whether it’s your first time or an annual trip. ## Saint-Germain-des-Prés ![france paris](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/the-famous-cafe-de-flore-in-saint-germain-on-august-21-in-news-photo-1717184454.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top) Steve Christo - Corbis//Getty Images Enchanting in ways that hark back to an era in which poets and artists used to mingle at sidewalk cafés but with a buzzy vibe that makes the villagey district as exciting as ever, Saint-Germain-des-Prés has always had a free-spirited romance about it. “I’ve lived in the area for what feels like forever,” says Paris-based interior designer and [ELLE DECOR A-Lister](https://www.elledecor.com/design-decorate/a43828997/the-a-list-2023/) [Jean-Louis Deniot](https://www.deniot.com/). “A few of my favorite places include the flagship Trudon store for candles and [Androuet](https://androuet.com/index.php?language=en) for delicious French cheese. There’s simply nothing more Parisian than sitting on the terrace of Le Bonaparte.” ## Le Marais ![france lifestyle](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/people-stroll-at-place-des-vosges-during-a-sunny-afternoon-news-photo-1717184645.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top) DIMITAR DILKOFF//Getty Images Le Marais, the old Jewish quarter, attracts a cool crowd with clothing and jewelry boutiques dotted along Rue des Francs-Bourgeois, along with 17th-century mansions, art galleries, and eateries. Interior designer, Paris resident, and [ELLE DECOR A-List](https://www.elledecor.com/design-decorate/a43828997/the-a-list-2023/) talent Hugo Toro recommends [Marché des Enfants Rouges](https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=74968X1525076&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tripadvisor.fr%2FAttraction_Review-g187147-d2355662-Reviews-Marche_Couvert_des_Enfants_Rouges-Paris_Ile_de_France.html), the oldest covered market in the city, for lunch. Hungry patrons queue up for falafel and shawarma from [L’As du Fallafel](https://www.dpbolvw.net/click-100543815-11552042?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tripadvisor.com%2FRestaurant_Review-g187147-d718129-Reviews-L_As_du_Fallafel-Paris_Ile_de_France.html&sid=edc-xid-{xid}). For a break from the hustle and bustle, Place des Vosges supplies a lovely, serene green space for picnics and slow strolls. “I appreciate the 23-suite [Maison Proust](https://www.maison-proust.com/en/maison-proust/) for its elegance and peacefulness, a brilliant counterbalance to the lively neighborhood,” he tells us.

It’s a romantic place to amble around and get lost. The more relaxed pace encourages lingering over a lunch of croque madame and a few glasses of wine on a scenic outdoor café terrace—cue images of Gertrude Stein and Guillaume Apollinaire doing the same back in the day. “For me, [Place du Tertre](https://www.jdoqocy.com/click-100543815-11552042?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tripadvisor.com%2FAttraction_Review-g187147-d190982-Reviews-Place_du_Tertre-Paris_Ile_de_France.html&sid=edc-xid-{xid}) remains a must-see,” says Toro.

The former red-light district turned hipster hangout du jour is a great place to bite into freshly baked croissants, French cheese, and almost-too-pretty-to-devour pâtisserie. The busy bistros are popular spots for people-watching over quiche and salade niçoise. Pick up some new threads to hit the town at the concept stores and indie boutiques. When the sun goes down, the cocktail bars thrum with excitement. If you’re looking for a crash pad that doesn’t require hopping on the metro after a few tipples, hunker down at the sexy [Le Pigalle](https://lepigalle.paris/en/), a member of [Design Hotels](https://www.designhotels.com/).

The area is also well known for its nightlife with many clubs, bars, and [Le Grand Rex](https://www.legrandrex.com/), a cinema and concert venue. [Musée Grévin](https://www.grevin-paris.com/en) displays waxworks of historic figures like Louis XIV and Napoleon Bonaparte alongside international celebrities (bonjour, Ryan Gosling!). ## Belleville ![paris tourist attractions prepare for a record year in tourism](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/street-art-in-belleville-2023-in-paris-france-famous-for-news-photo-1717185530.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top) Mika Volkmann//Getty Images Belleville keeps its charms under wraps way more than the grand belle epoque districts. But don’t let its gritty exterior put you off. This edgy hood is an exciting urban goldmine with graffiti-covered buildings, vibrant energy, and international street eats galore. Once a month, [Le Food Market](https://www.instagram.com/lefoodmarket/?hl=en) takes over Boulevard de Belleville. Locals and visitors satisfy cravings for Laotian curries at Lao Siam and Chinese dumplings at the many no-frills joints along the same thoroughfare. With hunger satiated, it’s a good time to head over to [Cimetière du Père-Lachaise](https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=74968X1525076&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tripadvisor.fr%2FAttraction_Review-g187147-d188698-Reviews-Pere_Lachaise_Cemetery-Paris_Ile_de_France.html), the most visited necropolis in Paris and the final resting place of Jim Morrison, Oscar Wilde, and Édith Piaf.

There’s simply nothing more Parisian than sitting on the terrace of Le Bonaparte.” ## Le Marais ![france lifestyle](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/people-stroll-at-place-des-vosges-during-a-sunny-afternoon-news-photo-1717184645.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top) DIMITAR DILKOFF//Getty Images Le Marais, the old Jewish quarter, attracts a cool crowd with clothing and jewelry boutiques dotted along Rue des Francs-Bourgeois, along with 17th-century mansions, art galleries, and eateries. Interior designer, Paris resident, and [ELLE DECOR A-List](https://www.elledecor.com/design-decorate/a43828997/the-a-list-2023/) talent Hugo Toro recommends [Marché des Enfants Rouges](https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=74968X1525076&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tripadvisor.fr%2FAttraction_Review-g187147-d2355662-Reviews-Marche_Couvert_des_Enfants_Rouges-Paris_Ile_de_France.html), the oldest covered market in the city, for lunch. Hungry patrons queue up for falafel and shawarma from [L’As du Fallafel](https://www.dpbolvw.net/click-100543815-11552042?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tripadvisor.com%2FRestaurant_Review-g187147-d718129-Reviews-L_As_du_Fallafel-Paris_Ile_de_France.html&sid=edc-xid-{xid}). For a break from the hustle and bustle, Place des Vosges supplies a lovely, serene green space for picnics and slow strolls. “I appreciate the 23-suite [Maison Proust](https://www.maison-proust.com/en/maison-proust/) for its elegance and peacefulness, a brilliant counterbalance to the lively neighborhood,” he tells us.

It’s a romantic place to amble around and get lost. The more relaxed pace encourages lingering over a lunch of croque madame and a few glasses of wine on a scenic outdoor café terrace—cue images of Gertrude Stein and Guillaume Apollinaire doing the same back in the day. “For me, [Place du Tertre](https://www.jdoqocy.com/click-100543815-11552042?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tripadvisor.com%2FAttraction_Review-g187147-d190982-Reviews-Place_du_Tertre-Paris_Ile_de_France.html&sid=edc-xid-{xid}) remains a must-see,” says Toro.

The former red-light district turned hipster hangout du jour is a great place to bite into freshly baked croissants, French cheese, and almost-too-pretty-to-devour pâtisserie. The busy bistros are popular spots for people-watching over quiche and salade niçoise. Pick up some new threads to hit the town at the concept stores and indie boutiques. When the sun goes down, the cocktail bars thrum with excitement. If you’re looking for a crash pad that doesn’t require hopping on the metro after a few tipples, hunker down at the sexy [Le Pigalle](https://lepigalle.paris/en/), a member of [Design Hotels](https://www.designhotels.com/).

The area is also well known for its nightlife with many clubs, bars, and [Le Grand Rex](https://www.legrandrex.com/), a cinema and concert venue. [Musée Grévin](https://www.grevin-paris.com/en) displays waxworks of historic figures like Louis XIV and Napoleon Bonaparte alongside international celebrities (bonjour, Ryan Gosling!). ## Belleville ![paris tourist attractions prepare for a record year in tourism](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/street-art-in-belleville-2023-in-paris-france-famous-for-news-photo-1717185530.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top) Mika Volkmann//Getty Images Belleville keeps its charms under wraps way more than the grand belle epoque districts. But don’t let its gritty exterior put you off. This edgy hood is an exciting urban goldmine with graffiti-covered buildings, vibrant energy, and international street eats galore. Once a month, [Le Food Market](https://www.instagram.com/lefoodmarket/?hl=en) takes over Boulevard de Belleville. Locals and visitors satisfy cravings for Laotian curries at Lao Siam and Chinese dumplings at the many no-frills joints along the same thoroughfare. With hunger satiated, it’s a good time to head over to [Cimetière du Père-Lachaise](https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=74968X1525076&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tripadvisor.fr%2FAttraction_Review-g187147-d188698-Reviews-Pere_Lachaise_Cemetery-Paris_Ile_de_France.html), the most visited necropolis in Paris and the final resting place of Jim Morrison, Oscar Wilde, and Édith Piaf.

Sure, it’s touristy, but this iconic and central base is ideal for retail therapy (French pharmacy haul, anyone?), high-end dining, and sightseeing with easy access to landmarks, including the recently restored [Grand Palais](https://www.tkqlhce.com/click-100543815-11552042?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tripadvisor.com%2FAttraction_Review-g187147-d590230-Reviews-Grand_Palais-Paris_Ile_de_France.html&sid=edc-xid-{xid}) and [Fontaine des Fleuves](https://www.tkqlhce.com/click-100543815-11552042?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tripadvisor.com%2FAttraction_Review-g187147-d17323478-Reviews-Fontaine_des_Fleuves-Paris_Ile_de_France.html&sid=edc-xid-{xid}), plus Marché Président Wilson and the legendary cabaret [Crazy Horse Paris](https://www.lecrazyhorseparis.com/).
