Paris’ Seventeenth Arrondissement

Old money in the 17th Arrondissement - the district is a less prestigious, but equally expensive neighbour to the immensely posh 16th arrondissement next door.

The southern quarters, bordering the Arc de Triomphe, are amongst the most desirable - in a stately, moneyed way at least. The quarter’s outer reaches, towards the boulevard peripherique and north towards the 18th arrondissement are less swanky.

There’s not a lot of interest for the casual visitor in this quiet quarter - nor a lot of life on the wide and sterile streets - but it’s south-eastern border offers very easy access to Paris’ central districts.
