Arrondissement 7

57,442 people live in the seventh district.  78.3% are metropolitan born and 8.9% are non-European immigrants.  This district is really fun and full of life, possibly one of the most famous districts as well.  If you want to stay in this district then you could stay at the two star hotel, Hotel Eiffel Turenne on Avenue de Tourville for €230 a night for a double room.  And you can find a local market not far from your hotel where you can find groceries. 

A dozen Eggs: € 2,55
1 Liter of Milk: € 1,46
Steak p/kg: € 19,29

Tourist Attraction:
Perhaps the biggest tourist attraction in France would be the Eiffel Tower and it is found in district 7.  People come from all over the world.  It was built for the world fair and was only supposed to stay up for a year because Parisians thought it was an eyesore but it brought so much attention to Paris that they kept it.  Now it is a hotspot for lots of events and is such a place of interest that they have armed gunman at the bottom.  It lights up every night and every hour on the hour it twinkles for five minutes.  You will probably find more couples around the Eiffel Tower than anywhere else in Paris, and could you blame them?




Amazing Architectural Attractions:
If you have seen Adele’s music video, Someone Like You, then you have seen the Pont Alexander III bridge.  This gorgeous piece of Architecture is one you must see and if you’re walking down the Sine then you have no reason not to see it. 





Today’s Business Shout Out!
This one goes out to Air France the airline.  I don’t know about you but it’s a pretty great way to get to Paris in my opinion. 




The Most Interesting Thing I Found:
Napoleon’s grave is a fantastic thing to see.  Napoleon is one of the largest shapers of Paris’s architecture and history and you can go and see his tomb.  It is right behind the military museum which is enormous and worth checking out as well.

I know you’ll love district 7 as much as I did!  Au revoir!
