9th district of Paris

The 9th district of Paris is one of the twenty Arrondissements of Paris, located on the Right Bank of the the Seine. With a surface of 217.5 hectares, the 9th district counts among the least wide of the capital. The district is particularly well served in public transport, since one counts 19 subway stations located inside or limit of his territory. The cultural offer is very developed with the palate Garnier, the Place of the Opera, but especially the theaters and cinemas of the grand boulevards. If the Opera or the Drouot Hotel attracts many visitors, it should be stressed that the few 200.000 people of passage each day in the district, attend primarily the department stores of the Chaussée sector of Antin and the many banking institutions established in the south of the district.
