Make the most of a short stay in Paris – rent an apartment in Paris!

 

Planning a short stay in Paris for your holidays or business, and want to become a real Parisian, at least for a little while? Then why not rent an apartment in Paris and make the most of a short stay in Paris with our useful guides to the French capital.

Rent an apartment in "Paris intra-muros" for your short stay in Paris and you’ll discover that the French capital has not one, but two beating hearts: her original core is located on two islands, the Île de la Cité (home to Notre-Dame Cathedral) and the Île Saint-Louis.   Even some of the most emblematic sights, such as the Champs-Elysées, were once outskirts of the city.

Clearly distinct from the extensive suburbs, Paris’s 105 sq. km city proper has a population of over 2 million and, unsurprisingly, can feel crowded. With few houses or privately-owned townhouses (Hotels Particuliers), but a wealth of apartment buildings, many 19th century, there’s plenty of scope to rent an apartment in Paris.  Although living in Paris is seen as a kind of luxury, its Northern and Eastern quarters are home to a lower-income and ethnically diverse population, while students and young working adults make the city's nightlife vibrant and original.

As a tourist hotspot, Paris accommodation can be cramped and expensive, whether in centrally-located, top-class (and top-priced!) hotels, or in suburban business-focused hotel chains.  Rent an apartment in Paris for your short stay in Paris and discover a new way to experience the City of Light!
