Paris, capital of fashion… and shopping!
What if we extended the Fashion Week? For fashion lovers, there is one place not to be missed in Paris: Les Galeries Lafayette Haussmann. Located only ten minutes walk from your Louvre Marsollier Opéra hotel, this department store, known for its Art Nouveau dome and its balconies, takes us in another time. It is the ideal place to marvel at the windows, full of items from the most fashionable designers. Whether it’s for a stroll or for an shopping afternoon, everyone will find something they like, seduced by the beauty of this timeless place.
And if your shopping desires are still not satisfied, let’s meet nearby, in the Passage du Havre. This place has everything to satisfy any shopping addict; there are fashion shops and restaurants, all in a green and luminous setting.
The emblematic Basilique du Sacré Cœur
Visiting the capital is never complete without a walk through the historic Montmartre district. So let’s climb its famous steps until we reach the majestic Basilique du Sacré Coeur.
You can see it from some of our rooms in your Louvre Marsollier Opéra hotel, so it’s time to get closer and to learn about its history, and marvel at its panoramic view overlooking the City of Light.
Since the end of its construction in 1914, the Basilica has become an emblem of Paris with its Neo-Byzantine architecture that gives a unique charm and sets it apart from the other monuments in the capital. At the time of its construction, the building was seen as a symbol of hope and renewal. A message that still resonates today and contributes to the uniqueness of the place.
In addition to the splendid view, we invite you to visit the interior of the Basilica, where the stained-glass windows, decorative elements and frescoes are wonderful. Live an unforgettable experience and climb the steps of the great Dome, which rises more than 200 metres, to admire the most beautiful view of Paris and to see some of its many gargoyles.
BNF Richelieu-Louvois, for a magical moment
Let’s end our Parisian stroll at the Bibliothèque nationale de France Richelieu-Louvois. Closed for works, this essential Parisian building is more than ever determined to reveal its most beautiful assets.
There are few places that leave us speechless, and the BNF Richelieu is one of them. This building will impress you with its beauty, its architecture and its treasures. If you are quickly carried away by its vast spaces, a careful eye will marvel at 30 years of architecture.
It is a real parisian cultural centre, a place of life that honours history, art and writing. The library and its magnificent dome, the museum, the temporary exhibition space, the garden and the restaurant allow visitors to experience an unforgettable moment in the heart of Paris.
During the month of October, discover the exhibition “Molière le jeu du vrai ou du faux” which invite us into the universe of the most famous French playwright thanks to an exceptional number of works and costumes.
