News - Visit Paris

The largest necropolis in Paris and the most visited in the world, the fascinating Père Lachaise Cemetery in the 20th arrondissement is easily accessible from the Hotel Pavillon Bastille.

Long overlooked by many Parisians, the Belleville district has become a lively, cosmopolitan place, a model of inclusive living that also has a reputation for displaying the most beautiful works of street art in the capital.

To discover the Paris beloved by Parisians, it’s sometimes necessary to deviate from the beaten track and try something new. During your stay at the Hotel Pavillon Bastille, why not opt for a cruise on the Canal Saint Martin and learn some fascinating anecdotes and historical facts along the way? You’ll have the choice between a riverboat or a more intimate zodiac craft. Cast off for a 2½ hour cruise through a particularly picturesque part of Paris.

The old Vincennes railway line that once connected the Gare de la Bastille to Varenne-Saint-Maur has been brilliantly repurposed. In 1988 it became the Coulée Verte Renée Dumont (formerly the Promenade Plantée), an elevated linear park, to the delight of the inhabitants of the 12th arrondissement and the walkers who enjoy its remarkable views.

Celebrate Valentine's Day as it should be with your special one by spending the festival of love cruising on the Seine or enjoying a superb live performance at the Opera Bastille. The choice is yours; a sublime view of the illuminated monuments along the Seine from a cruise boat, or a show in the striking surroundings of the Opera Bastille. Or why not do both? You can get where you need to be quickly and easily from the Hotel Pavillon Bastille.

Winter is here, and the eagerly anticipated holiday season is almost upon us! So, it’s high time to get ready for your Christmas break in Paris, where you can enjoy a truly extraordinary celebration. The Hotel Pavillon Bastille invites you partake of the magic that is Paris, the City of Light, during the end of the year celebrations.
