15th Arrondissement

Profile

This arrondissement is mostly residential and few tourists venture much deeper in its territory than the blocks immediately to the south-west of the Eiffel Tower.

Depending on your mindset, this could be disappointing or refreshing. The 15th can be safely skipped on your first visit to Paris, but if you want to see how the modern-day bourgeoisie lives, it's worth a visit.

Attractions

Aside from the much-discussed (and much-hated) Tour Montparnasse, the 15th arrondissement is pretty low on landmarks.

Hotels

There are quite a few medium-size and several large hotels in the 15th arrondissement and prices tend to be reasonable. The district also has a lot more two-star establishments than its more centrally located and touristy neighbor, the 7th Arrondissement.

Many hotels target business visitors rather than tourists. Among large business-class establishments, Pullman Rive Gauche is one that stands out.

Unsurprisingly, quite a few chains opened hotels here - Novotel, Timhotel, Inter-Hotel, Pullman, Quality Hotel, Mercure, Holiday Inn are all represented.
