Life in the 17th arrondissement
An arrondissement of two faces: Batignolles to the south, a much-loved village feel (Parc Martin-Luther-King, market, rue des Dames, rue de Lévis), and plainer pockets towards Porte de Clichy. On the Batignolles side it's family-friendly, lively and rising fast, well served (M2, 3, 13, 14 extended) to reach Saint-Lazare and the west. Daily life is pleasant, between markets, squares and good addresses, with value that's tightening fast. Heads up: quality varies sharply street to street, and the Porte de Clichy/Saint-Ouen area is best avoided at night. One of the best 'rising family' picks right now — but scout the micro-area.
