Paris by Train: Discover Paris’ Arrondissements

The city of Paris is divided into 20 arrondissements (administrative districts) each with their own generous share of personality and charm. Le 1er (first arrondissement) sits at the beating heart of the city and is home to impressive sites including Le Musee du Louvre, the imperial gardens of Tuileries Palace (Les Jardins des Tuiliers) and the covered shopping quarters of Les Halles. From there the arrondissements number outwards in a curling snail pattern. To get in and around the city, Parisians use the integrated public transport system operated by RATP, which includes the underground Metro system and regional RER trains.

To Paris by Train – Must See Landmarks by Arrondissements

With so much on offer in Paris, it’s hard to cram everything in a single trip. But planning a visit around each arrondissement is not a bad way to hit as many spots as possible. If you’re ever unsure of where you are or which area you’re heading to, check the zip code – all Paris zip codes start with 750 and end in the arrondissement you’re in. Destination the Pompidou Centre. Address: Place Georges-Pompidou, 75004. You’re heading to the 4th arrondissement. Et voila! Here’s a list of top things to do by arrondissements in Paris.

    Head to Pompidou Centre to take in some modern art. The building itself is an architectural wonder with its bold primary colors and its zigzagging metal escalator, fondly called the caterpillar. The Pompidou Centre is in the 4th arrondissement, so while you’re there you can visit the famous Notre Dame cathedral and have a spot of lunch in the hip streets of Le Marais – known as the LGBTQ+ district of Paris
  • Climb the Eiffel Tower: A trip to Paris wouldn’t be complete without visiting the Eiffel tower. Visitors can choose to see it from the ground or climb the stairs and take in the breathtaking views from the top. The Eiffel Tower is located in the 7th arrondissement where the Musee D’Orsay and Rodin’s Museum are also located.
  • Take a food tour around Saint -Germain-des-Prés. The 6th arrondissement was once the stomping ground for world reknowned writers and artists (Ernest Hemmingway often frequented these streets) and today famous coffee houses such as Café de Flore or Café Les Deux Magots still attract a heady mix of artists and visitors. There are plenty of boutique shops and artisanal food joints in the area, as well as the grand Luxembourg Gardens.

Free things to do around Gare du Nord

Got a few hours between trains? Put your things in the station’s lockers and dip out to take in some of the city’s sights. There are plenty of things to do around the main train stations including cafés, boulangeries for a quick pastry, or bars where you can relax with a glass of French wine. If you’re looking for free things to do in Paris, we recommend these three activities – all in easy reach of Gare du Nord station.

  • Visit the Sacre Coeur – the basilica is located at the top of Montmartre and has stunning views of Paris as well access to the church's interior. From Gare du Nord it’s an easy 25 minute walk away, or 15 minutes on the Metro.
  • Stroll along Canal Saint Martin – this charming canal cuts through Paris for 4.6 km all the way to Bastille. In the summer months, you’ll find Parisians hanging around the water’s edge with friends and picnics, the perfect way to enjoy the light evening air.
  • Go see the Champs-Élysées – just 12 minutes from Gare du Nord on the RER trains. On the western side of Champs-Élysées you’ll also find the Arc de Triomphe – the world’s largest triumphal arch. It’s impressive and well worth time visiting.
