Choosing the right place to stay in a city like Paris can be a tricky decision – you'll want easy access to attractions, but without necessarily being right in the middle of the noise and hubbub. This is why you should definitely consider apartments in École Militaire. This quiet, yet central area in the classy 7th arrondissement offers you the best of both worlds. Rather than staying in a hotel, opt for self-catered accommodation and experience Paris tailored exactly to your taste. Choose from the many options on offer at the HouseTrip website, you'll be sure to find something you like, whether you prefer classical or modern style.
Explore the École Militaire quarter
The École Militaire (military academy) that gives the area its name was founded under Louis XV at the end of the 18th century and is still used by the army today. Immediately beyond here you can cross the large Champ de Mars park and will find yourself at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, arguably the most famous Paris landmark. Amble back along the Seine and visit the Musée du Quai Branly, the fairly new ethnographic museum. If shopping is more your thing, then you'll want to head east from the École Militaire apartments and you'll hit the rue de Rennes with its vast array of boutiques and shops. Round off the day by enjoying the sun in the Jardin du Luxembourg.
