REACH CENTRAL PARIS IN JUST 15 MINUTES
Travel a bit further along the Metro line to reach one of the newest (and hippest) parts of Northern Paris – The Centquatre. A place of artistic innovation that regularly hosts exhibitions from talented, up-and-coming local artists, it’s a vibrant, lively place and well worth immersing yourself in its communal atmosphere for a few hours.
For something more old school, take a 30-minute metro ride to the iconic Notre-Dame Cathedral. This landmark of Gothic design’s one of Paris’s most popular tourist attractions thanks to its awe-inspiring architecture and rich history that dates all the way back to the 12th Century.
You could spend half a day at Notre-Dame, but the Garden of Plants – a 75-acre botanical paradise that’s home to more than 2,000 species of plants and flowers – is just a 20-minute stroll away. It isn’t just a garden though, here you’ll also find the Natural History Museum and an historic school of botany. Expect to spend a lot of time wandering its 11 unique gardens while discovering something new around every corner.
Back at your hotel, expect modern, no-fuss accommodation that includes a TV and a Hypnos mattress filled with luxury wool and silk for the best night’s sleep possible. In the morning, head to the breakfast buffet and enjoy a wide range of dishes to help set you up for the exciting day ahead.
