In Paris, the best arrondissement to live in is ???
There are 20 arrondissements, and each arrondissement is attributed with
its own number, according to the pattern of a spiral, beginning with the 1st arrondissement
in the heart of the capital and ending with the 20th on the outer northwest. Parisians describe their neighborhood by the
arrondissement number instead of place names.
A broader division is applied by Rive Gauche (reev gohsh),meaning the Left
Bank, the south side of the river Seine or Rive Droite (reev dro’aht), meaning
the Right Bank, north side of the Seine.

This website on expatica. Com gives a good explanation about the character
of the different neighborhoods.
Since I will be staying in a private apartment in Paris, I have become very
interested in the different arrondissements as each seems to have a different
flavour to it. I am so looking forward
to exploring the arrondissement that I will be living in.

word?) of Paris
