What is the best area to stay in Paris? Well, that depends on what you’re looking for in your Paris trip. Thanks to Paris’ extensive and affordable metro system, some people say there’s no wrong area to stay in Paris, as you’re always just a quick subway ride away from what you want to see.  Personally, though, I think some areas in Paris win out, especially if you have a specific goal for your trip, like seeing as many sights as possible, traveling on a budget, or experiencing a once-in-a-lifetime romantic getaway.
