Saint-Germain-des-Prés, right
behind the door
You’re at 34 Rue de Buci. It doesn’t get much more central than this in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Paris begins the moment you step through the hotel’s doors. Cafés, outdoor terraces, galleries, bookstores, markets, antique shops, and hidden gems are all within walking distance—you can explore them almost without a map. The “ Artus ” is right in the middle of it all. And that’s exactly why it’s here.
— Artus
From Rue de Buci to Rue de Seine
Around the hotel Artus, just a few streets alone 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 shops, 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 facade worth a closer look. It’s a neighborhood where art, books, and Parisian life continue to coexist naturally.
Explore Saint-Germain on Foot
Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Saint-Sulpice, the Odéon, the banks of the Seine, the Luxembourg Gardens, the galleries on 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 gem of a shop to the banks of the Seine.
The Left Bank, with Paris right at your fingertips
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 with guidance from our Clefs d’Or Chief Concierge, Paris is right at your fingertips.
And then, head back to Rue de Buci
After visiting museums, galleries, and taking walks—and after exploring a few kilometers of Paris—head to theArtus. A coffee. A record. A few pages of a book. And Saint-Germain is always right outside the door.
