17th Arr
Paris - 17th Arrondissement
Other than looking for a hotel that's not too far out of the city center, and that's safe, there's probably no other reason to visit the mostly-high-income-residential 17th other than hitting the English-styled Parc Monceau -- but Parc Monceau (which is also shared with the 8th arrondissement) is reason enough to go. Lovers of French Impressionist Claude Monet's work will want this to be a must-do on their schedule, as five of his important works were painted here. Other delightful surprises await: a windmill, a pyramid, an oriental fort, les colonnades, a grand rotunda, an art nouveau entrance gate, gorgeous flowers in season, quite a few playgrounds and statues of famous Frenchmen peppered throughout. All this and it comes with free Wi-Fi access, too.
