Area & Paris

Montparnasse

10 -minute-walk

The Montparnasse Tower is the highest monument in Paris and offers a breathtaking view of the whole capital from its panoramic terrace.
In addition to access to the train station which serves a large part of western France, the Montparnasse district also offers beautiful walks and extensive shopping opportunities.

The Montparnasse cemetery also offers an original destination. The coffins of many famous people (Baudelaire; Jean-Paul Sartre; Simone de Beauvoir; Guy de Maupassant; Gainsbourg...) can be found there. With its 19 hectares and 1200 trees, it is also one of the most important green spaces in Paris.

Jardin du Luxembourg

5 -minute-walk

The Jardin du Luxembourg was created on the initiative of Queen Marie de Médicis in 1612.
With a surface area of 25 hectares, it is composed of a French garden and an English garden. Between the two, the famous large basin extends where children traditionally play with their sailboats. The Jardin du Luxembourg is also home to the Senate of the French Republic.

This public garden is one of the most pleasant promenades in Paris where it is good to stroll or to read, installed in the seats and armchairs in wrought iron.

Eiffel Tower

45 -minute-walk

Visiting Paris? Come and admire the emblematic Iron Lady!

From the top of its 325 meters, the Eiffel Tower proudly towers over the city of Paris and keeps an eye on its inhabitants and travelers who have come from all over the world to contemplate it.
Not far from the Arc de Triomphe and the Obelisk, this world-famous monument is the emblematic symbol of the French capital.

Young and old alike will be amazed as they climb each floor of this sublime building. During the day, it sparkles in the sunlight and offers a golden view of Paris, and at night, it sparkles and its reflection dances on the Seine, lying at its feet.

Saint-Michel

20 -minute-walk

The Saint-Michel district, located in the 5th and 6th arrondissements, on the left bank of the Seine, has a unique charm. Indeed, it borders both the Latin Quarter and Saint Germain des Prés with their pretty cobbled streets.

The Place Saint-Michel is adorned with an imposing fountain and offers a splendid view of Notre Dame Cathedral, the Palais de Justice and the Louvre Museum. This district is very popular thanks to its ideal location: many shops and monuments such as the Pantheon and the Jardin du Luxembourg. You will enjoy going there for a walk in all tranquility!

Notre-Dame de Paris

The majestic Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris watches over the Île de la Cité and plunges you directly into the historic work of Victor Hugo.
