Information on the arrondissements (regions) in Paris:
 

1 Situated on the Right Bank. There are some beautiful old buildings and is a haven for tourists with The Louvre, Les Halles and the Palais Royal.
2 Again, on the Right Bank, this is the business centre of Paris.
3 Covering part of the Marais, one of the oldest parts of Paris, this is a trendy place to visit with some excellent shops and restaurants.
4 The heart of Paris with Notre Dame, St Chapelle and the National Museum of Modern Art.
5 The Left Bank and the Latin Quarter (called that because the professors and students at the Sorbonne all spoke Latin in the Middle Ages) and as such you can expect to find it still the intellectual corner of Paris, the hub of bohemia with students and tourists alike 'hanging out' in student bars, pavement cafes and restaurants.
6 St Germain. Not quite the bohemian quarter it used to be where you would have found great minds like Ernest Hemingway - now you are more likely to find yourself in upmarket shops, restaurants and art galleries.
7 This is a must since this area houses the Eiffel Tower - also found here is the Musee de'Orsay.
8 The second 'must' where you can start at the Arc de Triomphe and strutt down the Champs Elysees, past famous fashion houses and luxurious hotels.
9  An unusual mix of people can be found here. The famous Palais Garner, Paris' Opera House and Pigalle, the red light district as well as the Moulin Rouge.
10 Gare de l'Est and Gare de Nord (two train stations) can be found in this not particularly tourist area.
11 Place de la Bastille and the New Opera are here. There are places to stay but it is more residential than anything else though a few good restaurants can be found.
12 An area in the making. The new Metro means the centre of Paris is only 10 minutes away. One of the feature of the are is the Parc de Bercy which boasts 26 acres of garden. Of course there are new restaurants and shops to be enjoyed.
13 Not a lot to do here since it is mainly a residential area.
14 Here we have Montparnasse and the Citie Universitaire - you'll find some boisterous cafes and restaurants. The northern end was the home to many famous authors.
15 Mainly residential but for the Parc de Expositions.
16 Residential but worth going to if only to take in the rich boulevards such as Ave Victor Hugo. There is the Bois de Bologne Park which is rather lovely and a couple of museums worth a visit, Guimet, the Marmottan and the Balzac. If in the area then not to be missed is the view of the Eiffel Tower just across the river from the Place de Trocodero.
17 Mainly residential - a couple of good restaurants.
18 One of the most popular areas of Paris is Montmatre filled with street artists. A colourful hustle and bustle. Picasso and Matisse (to name but a few) lived here. Perhaps a tat touristy but enjoy the atmosphere. Don't forget the Sacre Coeur Church.
19 Go see the Museum of Science and Industry - for kids of all ages  as is The Buttes Chaumont where you can enjoy donkey rides and puppet shows! Lots of ethnic restaurants and shops.
20 Residential area which is ethnically based. The famous Pere Lachais, the cemetery which holds such famous names as Oscar Wilde, Edith Piaf, Victor Noir, Isadora Duncan.
