6. 1st Arrondissement
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,014 reviews
Situated principally on the right bank of the River Seine, it also includes the west end of the Île de la Cité. The arrondissement is one of the oldest in Paris, the Île de la Cité having been the heart of the city of Lutetia, conquered by the Romans in 52 BC, while some parts on the right bank (including Les Halles) date back to the early Middle Ages. It is the least populated of the city's arrondissements and one of the smallest by area, a significant part of which is occupied by the Louvre Museum and the Tuileries Gardens. Much of the remainder of the arrondissement is dedicated to business and administration.

Paris' 1st Arrondisement is the sole city center and the oldest part of the French capital. It's literally a must for any 1st time visitor to Paris, as most of the prime attractions are here: the Louvre, place Concorde, place Vendome, Orsay museum, Cite island with Notre Dame, Sainte Chapel, etc... You can easily plan 3 days just to visit this part. Although this was my 8th time in Paris, even now I spent a lot of time here.

Built in 1826 in neoclassical style, Galerie Véro-Dodat is listed as a French historical landmark. The diagonal grid of black and white tiles is just one of its charms.

This huge (east) facade of the Louvre is very impressive, easier to think of it as the back end. The structure really shows off french architecture of the time, stretching at 185meters it is quite impressive. During a visit do-not miss the courtyard in our opinion is even more impressive, from there you can walk to the glass pyramid.
10. Place Vendome

This public square, which has a statue of Napoleon in its center, is known for the glitzy jewelry stores that surround it.
Reviewed By 750dimitrisl - Sydney, Australia
Place Vendome is a rather nice public square with many shops in the general area. We wandered around for a while enjoying the views. In the centre of the square there is a tall column which was erected by Napoleon to commemorate the battle of Austerlitz. It seems to dominate the square but it is quite an interesting column.
