A Paris Hotel that makes it easy to visit the heart of the city is the boutique
Hotel Degres de Notre Dame, right in the heart of the action, within sight of
Notre Dame Cathedral on one side and an easy walk to the Pantheon and
the Latin Quarter on the other side. The hotel might be tiny by most
standards, but the Hotel Degres de Notre Dame offers a continental breakfast
and an English speaking staff that includes manager Cecile who is exceedingly
helpful. She will help you with good local information, maps of the city and she will
ease your stay in the walkable city of Paris.
Walking to a Latin Quarter Restaurant From Your Hotel
The Latin quarter restaurants mentioned above are just a few of many. These you
can reach from the hotels listed here.
The Sorbonne and Pantheon mark this area of clubs, restaurants, and lively
nightlife.
Another small hotel in the Latin Quarter, the Hotel Observatoire
Luxembourg, just across from the Garden of Luxembourg on the
Boulevard Saint-Michel. This hotel will give you good access to the heart of
Paris and although small, will offer friendly service and convenience to the Metro
at the Luxembourg station or to walks along the Seine.
Walking Paris From Your Hotel
Walk one block north of the hotel Degres de Notre Dame and you are at
the Cathedral of Notre Dame and the island within the seine. This landmark can
help to distinguish all other features on the maps and it can act as your guide to
all of Paris; the 200-foot high towers of the Gothic cathedral built in 1163 are
visible from several blocks around.
From the hotel you can walk through the grounds of the Cathedral to Saint
Chapelle, a church built in 1240 to house holy relics, including the crown of
thorns, and now famed for its stained glass windows. From there go along the
seine to the Louvre.
An alternative is to walk to the boat dock on the seine and take the Batobus
Tour Boats where 14 Euros gives you two days of on and off stops at eight
locations of significance on the Seine. This could be one of the best bargains in
Paris and will give you a great overview of the city of Paris.

Paris, lengthening your day of sightseeing.
A dinner boat cruise on the Seine could include
a sunset as you cruise beneath one of the 30 or
more bridges that cross the Seine in the center
of the city.
The boats leave from the dock near the Notre
Dame Cathedral.
A short walk from the Hotel Degres de Notre
Dame will take you through the Latin Quarter, a
trip best be done at twilight when the clubs and
restaurants open for dinner.
