Our neighborhood favorites?
Galerie Véro-Dodat
It opens up at the end of the street. With its black-and-white checkered floor, mirrors, woodwork, and glass globes, this is the best-preserved covered passage in Paris, built in 1826 and a designated historic monument. You’ll find violin makers, galleries, and the Christian Louboutin studio here.
Palais-Royal Garden
Buren’s columns, arched walkways, perfectly manicured lime trees, and silence. The quietest garden in central Paris, just five minutes from the hotel, open from 8 a.m.
Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection
Contemporary art housed under an 18th-century rotunda renovated by Tadao Ando. Just a four-minute walk away, and the view from the top-floor café is worth the trip even without a ticket.
Rue Montorgueil
Markets, fresh produce, sidewalk cafes, and bakeries: the pedestrian street where locals in the heart of Paris actually do their shopping. The best spot in the neighborhood for a walk-in dinner.
