Buttes-Chaumont

Find a neighborhood (arrondissement) that suits your vibe, get a lay of the land, and discover Paris' most sustainable hotels! You're coming to Paris... wahou ! (As the French would say.) Now you need to book somewhere to stay... which means a general lay of the land would be helpful! Once you know generally where you want to stay, and with a plethora of hotels to choose from, let sustainability be a contributing factor! My commentary provides practical insight to help you maximize your time here. What’s in this guide is literally what I would tell a close friend or family member asking my opinion about where to stay. My opinions are based on me, a foreigner, who has lived here since 2016 and explored the city pretty thoroughly. Just don’t forget, they’re still opinions 🙃 This guide includes: 🐌 An overview of how Paris is organized *and why!* 📍 FULL Paris neighborhood guide with my take on each one’s overall vibe. 💚 Classic sites in each neighborhood to orient you. 🏩 7+ Eco-friendly hotels. These are based on my research and supplemented by sustainable stays my past clients have found. SAVE this guide to access all future updates! 💙 This guide is FREE.

You have planned a short stay in the Capital, I got you covered with the 'Essentials' to visit and some tips to enjoy your stay ;) This list will cover 3 to 4 days. I have added few other sites at the end of the list for those who have the chance to stay longer. I have listed the places in order, so you can walk from an area to another (or catch the metro) and not miss a thing! I have included few restaurants and cafés but if you want more options, feel free to have a look at my guide only dedicated to food and drinks with 50+ places that I have personnally tested - link below.
