Contemporary crash pad on the laid-back left bank

Boasting a sought-after spot in the neighbourhood of Montparnasse – a quintessentially left-bank quarter that’s bursting with life, art, and everything in between – Le Royal Rive Gauche is a great choice to explore this iconic city. And thanks to the metro station just three minutes’ walk away, getting around the sights will be a breeze.

There’s plenty to get stuck into on the doorstep, too. Giacometti Institute is just one of the art museums within shouting distance, while any history buffs will find the entrance to the Catacombs is just a 10-minute stroll away.

What Le Royal Rive Gauche has to offer

    Catacombes de Paris

    It might sound like something straight out of a horror film, but the Paris Catacombs are one of the city’s most-visited sights. While there are miles upon miles of tunnels that weave their way across the ground underneath modern Paris, just about one mile is open to the public. Descend into the ossuary and you’ll get a glimpse at the remains of some of the millions of Parisians that reside in the catacombs.

    Jardin du Luxembourg

    Emerging like an oasis of green out of the metropolitan jungle, Jardin du Luxembourg with its picturesque ponds and quaint orchards is an idyllic place for an afternoon stroll. It’s home to a whole host of activities, too, from remote control boat racing and tennis to bridge and chess – just be sure to stay off the grass! 

    Public transport links

    In a city as vast as Paris, you’ll need to get to grips with the public transport system to make your way around. Luckily, you’ll have two different metro lines within walking distance, so you should be able to navigate your way across the city without too much trouble. Prefer to travel by bus? It’s a great way to see more of the city streets, and there’s a handy bus stop just a short mosey from the hotel.
