It's pretty easy to think that you already know what Paris is all about but there's a big chance you don't know all of it. As much as the city is featured in movies, TV series, documentaries, news programs, and the like, actually going there will give you more insight than anything else. Take the Grenelle district for instance. Did you even know it existed before then? That it's actually located near one of, if not the most famous tourist attraction in the city? Or that it's also quite the shopper's dream area? Well, this post will tell you more about the Grenelle district!
A Stone's Throw Away from The Eiffel Tower
Arguably the main reason why the Grenelle district will fascinate people is that it's actually located near the Eiffel Tower. It's not walking distance to it—though if you prefer to walk for miles and miles, it's still possible—its close proximity, considering that Paris is a huge city overall, makes it quite the in-demand neighborhood. And if you think this little tidbit won't benefit residents of the city, think again.
Living near the Eiffel Tower won't just get you a great view of the iconic landmark, but it will also give your visitors from other countries something to do.

Some Few Good Tourist Attractions
Though don't think that just because the Eiffel Tower is near the Grenelle neighborhood, doesn't mean it's the only attraction worth your while. Or rather, worth your visitors' while. Also near the iconic monument—making it near this district as well—is the Champ de Mars park,
one of the most beautiful in Paris, Always filled with families on a picnic or playing together, it's a spot worth taking your visitors too when you have free time.
