As soon as you pass through the big red door of the Hotel, a vast choice of cafés, ice cream parlors, bars and brasseries awaits the stroller. The famous 'Brasserie Lipp', 'Café de Flore' and 'Les Deux Magots' or the historic 'Café Procope' are just five minutes away.

Between the Seine quays and the Luxembourg Gardens, the La Louisiane neighborhood is one of the most suitable places in Paris for walking, jogging or cycling. The small streets, alleys and lanes, developed by the City, give priority to cyclists and pedestrians.
Far from the urban bustle of the hyper-touristic 'spots' on the Right Bank, our neighborhood charms travelers with its chic and relaxed atmosphere, but also with the sense of security it provides.
