"When talking about where you live in Paris, you automatically refer to your arrondissement, explains Emma Skoble, of Metropolitan Properties Paris. You'll hear people explain, 'I live in the 6th' or 'We're in the Latin quarter'. Parisians also say whether they live north or south of the Seine: north is known as the Rive Droite or right bank, and south is the Rive Gauche or left bank. It's all part of the Parisian property jargon!"
"The most expensive areas in Paris are south of the Seine, says Emma, spanning from the Eiffel Tower to the Jardins du Luxembourg park. These 6th and 7th arrondissements top the list in desirability and therefore price per square metre, but if you have the budget, these areas are ideal for an elegant pied-à-terre in Paris, complete with charming streets of art galleries, antique shops and pavement cafés."
Paris is a vast, diverse city of over two million people covering more than 105 km² and retains traces of a rich historic past, from monuments to cobbled streets. The city is organised into twenty numbered arrondissements that function as neighbourhood identifiers. Parisians commonly refer to their arrondissement and to being on the Rive Droite (right bank) or Rive Gauche (left bank). The most expensive areas sit south of the Seine, spanning from the Eiffel Tower to the Jardins du Luxembourg, with the 6th and 7th arrondissements top in desirability and price. A two-bedroom near the Luxembourg Gardens can cost around €1.8 million.
