How’s your sense of direction? Here are some handy hints to help you find your bearings more easily in Paris and to get to know your way around the capital.
“Arrondissements”
Paris is divided up into 20 large administrative districts. Beginning at the centre of the city, they curl round in a clockwise direction like a snail shell. To find out which “arrondissement” you are in, you will find it on all the street signs.
