What are good areas for renting in Paris?

If you're wondering where to live in Paris, the city is divided into different arrondissements, each with its own character. You can choose between the hustle and bustle of the Champs-Élysées, the trendy Marais district, the beauty of the Seine or the artistic life of Montmartre . If you are looking for a student room, the best place to stay is in the Latin Quarter or the Bastille. These two lively areas are frequented by many young people and are home to some of the city's most prestigious universities, such as the Sorbonne. Even though rent is quite expensive, you can find more affordable grocery options, restaurants, bars, etc. If you prefer peace and quiet, opt for a rental flat in the 13th or 15th arrondissement of Paris . It is also in these more outlying and mostly residential areas that you can find cheap accommodation. If you would like to shy away from high price tags, and don’t mind a bit of a more alternative neighbourhood.. The eastern parts of the 10th arrondissement are pretty hipster, trendy and can be affordable in comparison. It is very attractive to people usually in their 20s or 30s.
