The 9th arrondissement
If Paris was a newspaper, the 9th arrondissement will definitely be the lifestyle section. From theaters to shopping districts and even a few art galleries in between, the area is home to a myriad of leisure hotspots. This is where families go to spend some bonding time, couples go on dates and friends who just want to hang out.
Perhaps the most famous attraction is the Palais Garnier, home to the Paris Opera. Once the toast of Parisian high society, Gaston Leroux's 1910 novel, “The Phantom of The Opera,” as well as Andre Lloyd Webber's subsequent Broadway musical, helped it reach icon status. Today, it's become one of the most popular tourist spots in the city, almost rivaling the likes of the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and the Arc de Triomphe.
Continuing on the 9th arrondissement's love for theater is the Saint-Georges district. This popular street is home to many other theaters, smaller but entertaining nonetheless. They uphold the art from just as well as the famous Palais Garnier.
Then there's the shopping! If the 8th arrondissement, where Rue Saint-Honoré is located, is home to haute couture, the 9th arrondissement is a shopaholic's dream. Right off the bat, you'll find two of the city's most famous and most prestigious department stores here: Galeries Lafayette and Printemps Haussmann. They offer the most luxurious labels, the highest-quality pieces, and the most expensive items. Moreover, Blanche-Trinité and Blanche-Pigalle districts also offer smaller-scale but just as chic boutiques, shops, and markets. You'd do well to check them out too!
In terms of its location, the 9th arrondissement borders the 2nd arrondissement, the 8th arrondissement, the 10th arrondissement, and the 18th arrondissement.
