Paris

Paris’ 15th arrondissement is Paris Left Bank (“Rive Gauche”) largest district, yet remains relatively unknown to travellers and visitors.

The 15th arrondissement is composed of four neighbourhoods, all linked to the rest of the city by 6 metro lines over 22 stations: Grenelle in the north, next to the Champ de Mars and the Eiffel Tower, delimited by the Seine (with famous Bir Hakeim bridge and Isle of the Swans) is full of quirky shops, picturesque streets and architecture amateurs admiring the modern Front-de-Seine on the river bank; Javel, in south-west, attract tourists and families thanks to André-Citroën park and its greenhouses and its hot-air balloon, as well as employees of LexisNexis, Canal+ or France Televisions; Necker, in the east, benefits from Montparnasse train station and the Tower’s views over the whole city, as well as Bourdelle Museum; and Saint-Lambert, most famous for Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, where many national and international fairs take place, hosts the headquarters of Orange, Total Direct Energie and Safran.

All this makes 15eme apartments ideal for both families looking for an eclectic district and businessmen looking for corporate housing in 15e.

Paris’ 16th arrondissement is dubbed Paris’ bourgeois district because of its wide, tree-lined streets and often famous avenues, grand private homes and the extensive Bois de Boulogne.

Despite its western location nestled between the Seine and Paris ring road, it benefits from excellent transport links to the rest of the city thanks to 5 metro and 2 RER lines running through 23 stations. It is composed of 4 neighbourhoods: the southernmost, Auteuil, is the district’s sports centre with Roland Garros stadium, the Parc des Princes and Molitor Spa; above it, la Muette is home to Marmottan Monet museum and Passy cemetery (and its famous residents), as well as to a part of the Trocadéro; on the northern west side is la Porte Dauphine where many embassies and luxurious hôtels particuliers are, as well as famous avenue Foch; on the northern east side is the fourth and best-known 16e area, quartier Chaillot. It is home to the Arc de Triomphe, Palais de Tokyo and Avenues Kléber and Victor Hugo.

This is also where Apple and Pernod Ricard have located their offices, which makes it a convenient location for corporate housing in 16e, even though 16eme apartments for rent can be hard to find due to the district’s premium location and amenities.

The 9th arrondissement is Paris’ lesser-known cultural centre. It is home to several famous cultural landmarks, such as Garnier Opera, the Folies Bergères cabaret, Casino de Paris and Olympia concert halls, Grévin wax museum and auction house Drouot. Its central location on the Rive Droite (Right bank), between the shiny 8th, busy 2nd and trendy 10th arrondissements offers excellent transport links to the rest of the city (19 metro stations, 9 metro and 2 RER lines) while being within a short walking distance of landmarks like the Louvre and Champs-Elysées. If Chaussée d’Antin and Faubourg Montmartre neighbourhoods are busier because of tourism and because companies like Danone, Netflix, Dr. Oetker, Sony Music Entertainment, Thomson Reuters, Google and Apple have their offices located there, Saint-Georges and Rochechouard are slightly quieter despite still being very lively areas next to young and emerging 10th (with Canal Saint-Martin and la Villette areas) and 18th (famous for Pigalle and Montmartre). 9e arrondissement apartments are therefore very popular among professionals, young families and visitors and 9e corporate housing has become a clever option for those looking for central 9eme apartment rental long term and short term.

Paris’ 8th arrondissement is both the capital’s business and touristic centre. Its most famous landmarks are none others than the Champs-Elysées, Arc de Triomphe, place de la Concorde and the Grand Palais, which attract millions of tourists every year.

On the other hand, many international companies headquarters are scattered across its four quartiers (Saint-Philippe du Roule, Madeleine, Champs-Elysées and Europe) : EDF, Bank of America, Sanofi Aventis, Publicis, Vivendi and Bouygues for instance, as well as luxury houses like Hermés, LVMH, Chanel and L’Oréal. It is then no surprise it is the district with the best transport links (22 metro stations with 9 metro lines and 2 RER lines), on top of Saint-Lazare train station located there, to accommodate the flow of tourists and professionals. It is also the reason why 8th apartments are very popular. If one prefers to avoid taking the busy metro to commute, 8eme corporate housing is indeed a great solution.

Rentals in 8th arrondissement offer a scenic walk to the office and will provide you with all amenities and all cultural activities one can need, and even some of the very best in the French capital.
