The 1st Arrondissement Paris is the center of modern-day Paris and the site of important landmarks such as Le Louvre, the Jardin des Tuileries and Le Palais Royal. The 1st Arrondissement is home to some of the best museums, shops, parks and bars in the entire city. The western-most area of the 1st Arrondissement is incredibly upscale while the east is buzzing with a mix of tourist and young Parisien pedestrians in the mostly car-free Les Halles and Samaritaine. You can easily find several Paris vacation rentals and self catering Paris apartments in the 1st Arrondissement.

Other popular landmarks in the 1st Arrondissement include the Colonne Vendôme, Sainte Chapelle, La Conciergerie, Église Saint-Eustache, Jeu de Paume, Musée en Herbe, l'Orangerie and Musée des Arts décoratifs. In the summer, the river level express lanes are converted to an entirely pedestrian-catering road where sun-bathers lay about and rollerbladers travel called Paris Plage. Because it is filled with so many attractions, it is considered one of the best and most convenient parts in which to reserve your Paris vacation rentals and self catering Paris apartments. Paris vacation rentals and self catering Paris apartments will likely save you some money as compared to when you book a hotel and will offer more space.

The 1st Arrondissement is located nearest to the 2nd District Bourse, 3rd District Le Marais, 4th District Pompidou Le Marais and 8th District Champs Elysees.
