The 7th arrondissement of Paris
Out of all the districts in Paris, the 7th arrondissement is perhaps the most famous and most beloved. And it's thanks to one world-famous monument, the Eiffel Tower!
Standing proudly as the symbol of Paris and the rest of France, this iconic monument is the centerpiece of the 7th arrondissement. It's the very reason why so many tourists flock to the French capital in the first place. And paired with the scenic Champ de Mars park right beside it, the entire area becomes one big tourist haven. It's as if no visit to Paris is complete without going here!
Though let's not forget the other noteworthy attractions in the 7th arrondissement too. There's Musée d'Orsay, for example, a former Beaux-Arts railway station turned art museum. It is home to countless French art dating from 1848 to 1914. The Les Invalides complex is also a must-see with its stately grandeur and old-world appeal. And if you want a quieter time in the often-busy area, escape to the banks of the Seine River.
In terms of its location, the 7th arrondissement borders the 1st arrondissement, the 6th arrondissement, the 8th arrondissement, the 15th arrondissement, and the 16th arrondissement.
Transport
As far as public transport goes, you don't have to worry about anything in the 7th arrondissement. With so many tourists going here, it's become a go-to for taxis, buses, and more. Unsurprisingly, many metro and Réseau Express Régional lines pass through here too. The metro stations here serve the 8, 10, 12, and 13 as well as the RER line C.
The RER C travels to Versailles and Orly Airport
Schools
Even though it's a popular area for tourists, the 7th arrondissement is still home to a number of schools and universities. The most prominent of which is the American University of Paris. Founded in 1965, it's become one of the finest international schools in the city. There's also the Paris Institute of Political Studies, also known as “Sciences Po,” a popular institution for those looking for a future career in government.

Real Estate
Any property near the Eiffel Tower is prime real estate. Even those that aren't in the 7th arrondissement but are near enough to have a view of the monument are already highly in demand. What more when the place is located in the same district as the tourist spot? As a result, the real estate market here is strong and stable. More and more people continue to purchase or rent properties in the district. And it has led to prices remaining as high as can be.
