ABOVE: The three-star Hotel Magenta Paris is in a renovated 19th Century building within walking distance of the Gare du Nord and the Gare de l'Est in the 10th arrondissement. Several Métro lines are close by.

Hotels in other areas of Paris

Paris is a city with 20 arrondissements or districts. We've ignored many of them in this article for a simple reason: As a a leisure traveler, you're no more likely to stay in the 14th or the 19th than you'd stay in Washington Heights or the Bronx on a visit to New York. Being near the major sights (or in Montmartre, which is one of the major sights) just makes more sense touristically.

Still, if you have a good reason to stay away from the prime tourist areas (e.g., because you're leaving early for Venice from the Gare de Paris-Bercy or have a sports tournament in an outlying neighborhood), we wouldn't want to discourage you. Most Paris districts are safe and within commuting distance of tourist areas by public transportation. To see what's available throughout the city, click the arrondissements on the Venere Hotel Map: Paris or consult Venere's Paris hotels listings.

Hotels in the Paris suburbs

You probably won't be staying in the suburbs unless you're in Paris on business, are visiting friends, or are touring Versailles or Disneyland Paris.

For hotels throughout the Greater Paris area, see Venere's Around Paris map or choose a suburb from the list beneath the search form on Venere's Around Paris hotel listings.

For hotels in and around Versailles, see Venere Hotel Listings: Versailles. The Web site of the Versailles Tourist Office also has an accommodation search form.

For Eurodisney, see Venere Hotel Map: Disneyland Paris, which will be useful mainly if you're visiting by car and don't want to pay Disney's hotel rates. If price isn't an issue, visit the official Disneyland Paris Web site, but be aware that only of the official hotels (the four-star Disneyland Hotel) is at Disneyland Paris. From other Disney hotels, you'll need to take a shuttle or--in some cases--drive to the park.

• Tip: Both Versailles and Disneyland Paris are easy to reach by train, so another option is to stay in Paris and make day trips from the city (as most people do).
