It is a classic Paris arrondissement with many residences, where peace, order, security and stores are closed early. Also, the 17th arrondissement is one of the greenest areas in Paris.
Here we do not find many points of interest, except some picturesque parks and the historic neighborhood Battignoles , a place with alternative bistro and bourgeois bohemian types (the so-called BoBos Bourgeois-Bohèmes).
