Paris is divided into 20 arrondissements that spiral outward clockwise from the centre, like a snail. The 15th is the city's south-western corner on the Left Bank, sweeping from the Eiffel Tower's edge along the Seine down to the Porte de Versailles.
It's the largest and most populous arrondissement — calm, residential and green — but exceptionally well connected, with five metro lines, RER C and the riverside all on hand.
Since 2025 the system has been simplified: paper tickets are gone, replaced by the contactless Navigo Easy card or your phone. A single Métro/RER ticket is now a flat fare, and a day pass quickly pays for itself if you ride often.
For door-to-door directions, the Bonjour RATP and Citymapper apps are the most reliable companions.
Five metro lines, RER C along the Seine and tram T2/T3 at its edges make the sprawling 15th easy to reach. Here are the essentials.
A few practical essentials to make your visit to the 15th arrondissement smooth and stress-free.
The riverbanks and parks are loveliest spring to early autumn. The Brassens book market runs Saturday and Sunday; the Ballon de Paris flies in good weather, so check conditions before heading over.
The Statue of Liberty walk is free and open day and night — enter the Île aux Cygnes from the Bir-Hakeim or Grenelle bridge and stroll the shaded central path to the statue.
Cards are accepted almost everywhere; market stalls may prefer cash. Service is included by law; rounding up for great service is appreciated, never expected.
Skip the tourist crowds — Rue du Commerce and the Beaugrenelle mall cover everything from bakeries to big brands, with far more breathing room than the centre.
Parks open daily from morning to dusk; the Musée Bourdelle and Maison du Japon close one day a week. Many local shops shut Sunday afternoon and Monday.
For unbeatable Eiffel Tower photos, walk the Pont de Bir-Hakeim and the Île aux Cygnes — the same angles made famous by countless films.
