The 17th Arrondissement lacks the common tourist sights but is rich with an authentic French atmosphere, real French people and grandiose Haussmannian architecture. The 17th Arrondissement is located directly north of the Arc de Triumph. The southwest of the district is known as a high-end shopping district because of the store-lined avenues of Wagram-Ternes. The northeast of the district, known as Batignolles, is the opposite and boasts a scruffy bohemian vibe with bars and bistros which are popular among hipsters.

While you are in town, make sure to visit the Marché Poncelet street market. Plan the perfect picnic at Parc Monceau. If you are looking for an authentic French experience, I urge you to spend your nights in holiday rentals in Paris or Paris short term rentals in the 17th Arrondissement. Choose from large, multi-room holiday rentals in Paris or a Paris short term rentals studio. Holiday rentals in Paris and Paris short term rentals are affordable, private and spacious as compared to traditional hotel rooms. This area is surrounded by the 16th District Passy Trocadero, 8th District Champs Elysees and 18th District Montmartre.
