Louvre - Palais Royal
Home to the famous Comédie Française and many local theaters, the neighborhood moves to the theater’s beat. Around the Rue St Augustin, bars and bistros crowded with locals become a performance unto themselves. At mid-day, finance professionals from the nearby banking district liven up the lunch scene. Enjoy impromptu classical music concerts the weekends on Place Colette in front of the Palais Royal. In this area, you will experience all of the facets of Parisian life: history, art, literature, music, gastronomy and shopping.
The department stores Galeries Lafayette and Printemps are just ten minutes away. You are a two-minute walk to Drouant, the exquisite restaurant that hosts the Prix Goncourt, the famous French literary award, each year. Renoir, Rodin and other artists also gathered here. You are also just a five-minute walk to the lovely Palais Royal Garden, the Place des Victoires, the Place Vendome and just a ten-minute walk to the Louvre.
