Are you familiar with the different neighborhoods in Paris? Is your trip approaching, but you haven’t yet decided which neighborhood to stay in?
If you want to stay in a lively, vibrant neighborhood, then the Grands Boulevards and Montorgueil quarters are just for you!
They’re both situated in the 2nd arrondissement, in the very heart of Paris. They’re also known for their covered passageways with shops (passages couverts). They’re magical areas that allow you to travel back to the 19th century with their magnificent old stores.
The 2nd arrondissement holds a number of key attractions, such as the Palais Brongniart (the former home of the French stock market), the headquarters of the Crédit Lyonnais bank, the Palais Berlitz, the Opéra Comique, the Richelieu Library of the BNF (the National Library of France and the Basilica of Notre-Dame-des-Victoires).
