Le Placide Hotel

Location

Going out of the hotel, one crosses the street and enters the Bon Marché department store. Whether this be a dream for some or a temptation for others, it's above all an ideal location to explore the street network at Saint Germain des Prés.

Art galleries, designers, big fashion names, book shops or grand patisseries, from the rue du Cherche-Midi to the rue du Dragon, from the start of the rue de Grenelle to the rue du Vieux Colombier, it's a paper chase with numerous entrances.

Do not forget the numerous gastronomical meeting places in the area, such as the large food hall at Bon Marché, the biological market on boulevard Raspail or the excellent shops on the  rue du Bac, not to mention the restaurants one can find.

For the religious or the curious, the Chapelle de Notre Dame de la Médaille Miraculeuse on the rue du Bac is to be noted, it attracts pilgrims from all over the world and creates an amusing contrast with the shopping fever that consumes the region's clientele.

Concerning museums, those of the seventh arondissement are less than ten minutes away on foot: the unmissable Musée d'Orsay, the surprising Musée Maillol or the fascinating Musée Rodin.

The metro is a few steps away and numerous buses serve the boulevard Raspail therefore allowing you to move quickly throughout Paris.
