The 7th arrondissement (district) of Paris is an affluent, highly prestigious part of the city that attracts droves of tourists to essential Paris sights like the Eiffel Tower and the Orsay Museum. Accommodations here will cost you more, and don't expect to see many average Parisians in this area.

Eiffel Tower and the Champ de Mars
Musée d'Orsay
Rodin Museum
French National Assembly
Hôtel Matignon (seat of the Prime Minister)

Bon Marché Department Store and Gourmet Market
