Hotels, travel guides & special offers in Paris

The River Seine sweeps through Paris, cutting it physically - and even psychologically - into the wide, luxurious boulevards of the Rive Droite (or Right Bank), typified by the Palais du Louvre, and the bohemian intrigue of the Rive Gauche (Left Bank), home to the Sorbonne and Latin Quarter. The Ile de la Cité and Ile St-Louis play piggy in the middle. If only things were so simple! In fact, true Parisians see their city as a spiral of arrondissements, which start at the Louvre and unfold clockwise from one up to 20, enfolded within the Péripherique ring road.

Your postcode says a lot about you. Live in the 16th? You must be well heeled! A loft in the grungy 20th? You're an artiste! Based in the Marais (3rd and 4th arrondissements)? You've a taste for funky style. A pad in the 11th around Oberkampf? You've got your finger on the pulse. But we'd hate to be judgemental - stroll the streets and discover your favourite arrondissements!

Among the most enjoyable Parisian pursuits is the art of doing nothing much at all so sit back, relax, and let Eurostar take you direct from London to Paris for the ultimate weekend away. Buy your cheap Eurostar ticket to Paris today.
