You might have to take the stairs up to the fifth floor, but once inside you’ll find it easy to settle into this city sanctuary. Thoughtfully designed for couples and families, the rooms make it easy to relax, cook and catch up on work. Location wise, it’s just a short stroll to local restaurants and shops, while Parc Montsouris is nearby for leisurely afternoon walks. You’ll find Plaisance Station is less than a ten-minute walk away, and it’s just a twenty-minute ride to iconic spots like the Luxembourg Gardens and the Panthéon.

Local guide


About Montparnasse & Catacombs

This part of town is mostly residential but works well as a base for exploring the charms of the nearby 6th and the 7th arrondissements. It was famously home to a community of prominent twentieth-century artists and intellectuals - Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, Max Ernst and Pablo Picasso to name a few. Parc Montsouris is one of the city's most colourful public spaces and well worth seeking out. Be sure to check out the Roman Catacombs too if you're of the morbid disposition - stacks of skulls and bones await you!
