My 17 year old daughter and I will be in Paris in early June. Both of us have been to Paris before so we will not spend a great deal of time at the normal tourist attractions, except the Eiffel Tower of course. Is the 17th district a safe area? We were hoping to stay in an area of town that is central, but realize more of the Parisian culture. The apartment that I have reserved is on Rue Mariotte - any comments? Also, as a teenage girl, she is interested in fashion. I read several comments about free fashion shows - can anyone provide specifics? How do I make reservations? I have enjoyed reading all of the Paris forum comments, I have really learned alot.

17th is residential and safe. Not very central however, It is near Batignolles.
Fashion shows are at Printemps and Galeries Lafayette. Google them.

Bonsoir Traverlerlinda,
Excellent choice! It might not be very central, but it is still very well located. I stay in Batignolles in December 05 and I visited there last May, last November and again last week.
Rue Mariotte, named after a French 17th century scientist, is between rue des Dames and rue des Batignolles, which are both very pleaseant commercial street. You will find everything you desired and you will have %26quot;l%26#39;embarras du choix%26quot; as we said in French.
The social fabric is also very interesting, a lot of bobos (bourgeois-bohèmes) and artists who find the area more interesting than some of the more homogenius single digit arrondissement. Who will experience a more authentic Paris yet you will be just 15 minutes ride from l%26#39;Arc de Triomphe!
Last December I took a visite conférence about the Batignolles, since then I pay more attention to some of the great art nouveau and art deco buildings (for example on rue Truffaut) in the quartier,
There are a few gems of restaurant tbut I keep that for myself so click my name and I will email you some addresses if you are interested.
