→ 3 STAR HOTEL TRAIN STATION MONTPARNASSE - HOTEL CHAPLAIN - OFFICIAL WEBSITE

Located at the heart of an artistic, literary and academic crossroads, the Chaplain Rive Gauche is an ideal base from which to explore the different quarters of Paris.

The Saint-Germain-des-Prés church and its famous literary cafés, Le Flore and Les Deux Magots, are just a few steps away. Ambling through the narrow streets brimming with charm, you will happen upon pretty art galleries, fashion boutiques or renowned cake shops.

The Jardin du Luxembourg, crossed by the students of the famous Assas and Sorbonne universities, is well worth a stop. In the evening, take a seat in one of the big brasseries of Montparnasse, the Coupole, the Dôme or the Closerie des Lilas. Places still haunted by the quarter’s inhabitants from bygone times, as seen by the numerous artists’ studios in the area.
