What you’ll do
The 17th Arrondissement is loved by Parisians for being more peaceful than neighboring Montmartre, although both exude a certain je ne sais quoi. You’ll join your host on an authentic excursion through this quirky, bohemian district, with its vibrant cafe culture, open air markets and elegant gardens. You might like to browse chic boutiques, or pop into a boulangerie to sample something scrumptious, like a macaron or buttery pastry. Stroll along the Rue Sauffroy, which is the center of the neighbourhood’s African community, and browse shops selling products from across the continent. Explore the charming cobbled streets with your host and wander through leafy parks where locals play the popular game of petanque (bowls). Chat to them about the area’s history and quirks, or, if you whip out your most charming smile, join in. You’re sure to gain insight into the real rhythms of life in this tranquil enclave as you amble through, and your host is just the person to make up for any French you lack!
