The River Seine splits the city of Paris into the right bank, north of the Seine and the Left Bank, south of the river. Paris is divided into 20 arrondissements or districts, which spread outwards in a loop from the central Île de la Cité to Porte de Montreuil on the eastern edge of the city. Many readers will recognise the "Left Bank" as being the artistic and intellectual heart of the city and home to the renowned Latin Quarter. The Right Bank is home to businesses, elegant shops, The Louvre, and much more.
