Luxury holidays in 17th arrondissement

When to go

Spring and autumn bring just-right weather for wandering the area; Paris is particularly romantic in winter, when you can cosy up in local cafés and date-night-worthy bistros.

Getting there

• Planes

  Paris’ Orly and Charles de Gaulle airports are each a 30-minute drive from this leafy district.

• Trains

  The city’s Gare du Nord, Gare de L’Est and Gare Montparnasse are each a 25-minute drive from the 17th arrondissement; a ride on the Métro to Ternes takes a similar amount of time. Pont Cardinet station is at the heart of the district; from here, rail routes can take you to Versailles.

• Automobiles

  Driving in Paris might make you shout sacré bleu — opt for taxis, walking or public transport instead.
