Saint-Germain-des-Prés, right
, behind the door
Here, you are at 34 rue de Buci. It’s hard to be any closer to the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Paris begins the moment you push open the hotel door. Cafés, terraces, galleries, bookstores, the market, antique dealers, and hidden gems can all be discovered on foot, almost without a set itinerary. Artus is right in the middle of it all. And that is precisely why it’s here.
— Artus
From Rue de Buci to Rue de Seine
Just a few streets away from the Hotel Artus, these streets perfectly capture the spirit of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Rue de Buci for its terraces and vibrant energy, Rue de Seine for its art galleries, antique dealers, and storefronts, and Rue Jacob for its publishing houses, historic landmarks, and more intimate atmosphere. You can stroll from one to the next in just a few minutes, stopping by an exhibition, a bookstore, a café, or a building façade worth taking a moment to admire. It’s a neighborhood where art, books, and Parisian life continue to blend together naturally.
The best way to explore Saint-Germain is on foot
Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Saint-Sulpice, the Odéon, the banks of the Seine, the Luxembourg Gardens, the galleries of the Left Bank… everything invites you to take a stroll. Just a few blocks are all it takes to go from a historic café to a bookstore, from an exhibition to a sidewalk café, or from a hidden boutique to the riverbank.
The Left Bank, and Paris within easy reach
Saint-Germain is as much a starting point as it is a destination. Cross the Seine to reach the Louvre and the historic heart of Paris, stroll along the riverbanks, or simply stay on this side. Whether on foot, by metro, or guided by the advice of our Clefs d’Or Head Concierge, Paris is within easy reach.
And then, back to Rue de Buci
After visiting the museums, galleries, and taking walks—and after traveling a few kilometers across Paris—come back to Artus. A cup of coffee. A record. A few pages of a book. And Saint-Germain is always right outside the door.
