In just 10 minutes you can be in authentically charming Montmartre, discover Place du Tertre brimming with painters and portraitists, before heading to the famous Sacré-Coeur basilica. Perched at the top of Montmartre hill, this Romano-Byzantine basilica offers a magnificent panorama over the capital. Inside, take a moment to admire the apse ceiling, decorated with a the biggest mosaic in France, visit the crypt or even the dome to take in a superb 360° panoramic view of Paris.

The Louvre is another must-see attraction which is easy to reach from the hotel. It is one of the world’s greatest museums. Its collections include Ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman art as well as Western art from the Middle Ages to 1848. Famous works include Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, Géricault’s Raft of the Medusa and Liberty Leading the People by Delacroix.

From the Louvre, head up the Seine to reach Notre-Dame de Paris on Ile de la Cité, a gothic masterpiece and the most visited monument in Paris. After your visit, take a moment to stroll along the paths in the Jardin des Tuileries park to arrive at one of the most beautiful squares in Paris: Place de la Concorde. The 3,300-year-old Luxor Obelisk stands proudly at the centre of this monumental Parisian square at the foot of the Champs-Elysées.
