The 1st arrondissement is a stunning neighbourhood in Paris with many of the city’s top attractions and historical buildings.
We walked to many of the top tourist attractions during our stay here very easily. However, since the area is in one of the most popular districts of Paris, expect to pay higher prices than in other areas.

- Square du Vert Galant, 75001 Paris, France ~ 26-minute walk
