Which arrondissement to not stay in Paris?

But, there're some parts of Paris that you should avoid at night or take extra precautions when visiting. For instance, try and avoid some neighborhoods of the 19th and 18th arrondissements as they're quiet, empty, and shady during the late hours. Don't walk through the small streets, especially if you're alone.

Much of Paris is very beautiful. But we'd argue that Montmartre is the prettiest area of them all. Set on a hill in the 18th arrondissement, there are views across the entire city from the grounds of Sacré-Cœur, the white-domed church.

There are also many embassies there. For all these reasons, the 7th is therefore also the safest, most refined and cleanest arrondissement.
