Saint-Germain-des-Prés, right
behind the door
Here, you are at 34 rue de Buci. It is hard to be more at the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Paris begins the moment you push open the hotel door. Cafés, terraces, galleries, bookshops, the market, antique dealers and little addresses are all discovered on foot, almost without an itinerary. Artus sits in the middle of it all. And that is precisely why it is here.
— Artus
From rue de Buci to rue de Seine
Around Hotel Artus, a few streets say it all about the spirit of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Rue de Buci for its terraces and energy, rue de Seine for its art galleries, antique dealers and shop windows, rue Jacob for its publishing houses, historic addresses and more intimate atmosphere. You pass from one to the next in a few minutes, between an exhibition, a bookshop, a café or a façade worth stopping for. A neighbourhood where art, books and Parisian life continue to rub shoulders naturally.
Saint-Germain is best discovered on foot
The church of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Saint-Sulpice, Odéon, the banks of the Seine, the Luxembourg Gardens, the galleries of the Left Bank… everything invites you to walk. A few streets are enough to go from a historic café to a bookshop, from an exhibition to a terrace, or from a hidden boutique to the riverbank.
The Left Bank, and Paris within reach
Saint-Germain is a starting point as much as a destination. Cross the Seine to reach the Louvre and the historic heart of Paris, stroll along the quays, or simply stay on this side. On foot, by metro, or guided by the advice of our Clefs d’Or Head Concierge, Paris is within reach.
And then, back to rue de Buci
After the museums, the galleries, the walks and a few kilometres across Paris, come back to Artus. A coffee. A record. A few pages of a book. And Saint-Germain always just behind the door.
