The 1st district is a place where antiques lovers, expensive boutiques are concentrated; the most democratic tourists also gather here, whose goal is to visit the Louvre, the Tuileries Garden; Royal Palace Palais Royal.
The 1st, 4th, 7th arrondissements are the historical center of Paris, here, of course, all the main attractions, the most famous streets and well-known tourist routes.

The main architectural structure is the Eiffel Tower, it is visible from different parts of the city, and it was built in this area. An image of the Eiffel engineer tower leaves on every second French souvenir, photo or gift.

The 16th arrondissement was included in this list because many tourists want to see a truly bourgeois Paris, filled with expensive cars and posh mansions. True, for a temporary stay, a tourist with limited financial resources is better off looking for another place.
