I am a solo traveler in my 50's going to Paris for the first time. I travel solo often, and I typically don't like staying in super loud/touristy areas. I live in a major city, so I am happy to walk 30-40 minutes, or take public transportation to see a site/sites.

It seems like a lot of people recommend that first timers in Paris stay in Le Marais, but I was wondering if the 11th would be a good place to stay as well for a first timer or if people think it's too far from the main attractions for someone visiting for their first time. I am trying to choose between two places. One is located in the 3rd, and one is located in the 11th.
