Getting to your holiday rental in the 9th arrondissement of Paris couldn’t be easier. The fastest and most direct route is to take the Eurostar train from London direct into Gare de Nord railway station. From there simply take the reliable Metro train to your destination.
If you decide to fly there are daily direct flights from the UK into Paris’ two airports – Charles de Gaulle and Orly. If you are staying within the centre of Paris, I would suggest using the Metro or walking between sights. However if you want to discover further afield then you can hire a car from either airport.

Types of holiday rentals in the 9th arrondissement of Paris
The 9th arrondissement of Paris (or as it is more commonly known – The Opéra Quarter) is a thriving area day and night. Most property to rent in the 9th arrondissement of Paris are studios and apartments.
I found a great 2 bedroom loft duplex for rent within a few minutes walk of the Opéra and Galleries Lafayette (big department store). It is on the top floor but is accessible by a lift and as such is very quiet and protected from the street noise.
Parts of the Pigalle area are also within the 9th arrondissement. It is most famous for The Moulin Rouge and its sex industry but it is also on the doorstep of Montmatre – the home of the French Impressionists and other artists in Paris.
If you a cultural lover and love nightlife then finding an apartment to rent in the 9th arrondissement of Paris would be a great location. A perfect example of the unique type of property that you could stay in would be a Feng-Shui studio. It has featured in design and architecture television and magazine articles and is stunning and completely indulgent.
