Paris, known as the city of lights, is also one of the favorite destinations for international students. The French capital is much more than the Eiffel Tower and the typical tourist sites. This huge city is divided into 20 districts that are numbered starting from the center,  and are organized in a spiral. In Lodgerin we know that each of its streets has something special that will make your Erasmus an unforgettable experience. If you are thinking about studying in Paris soon, here are the best student neighborhoods in Paris.
