A charming 3-star Paris hotel located in the heart of the Latin Quarter

The Seine River divides Paris into two distinct areas—the Right Bank (Rive Droite) on the north and the Left Bank (Rive Gauche) on the south. Paris consists of 20 areas or arrondissements that spiral outward going clockwise from the center in a snail-like manner.  Each neighborhood or arrondissement possesses its own unique style and charm. 

Hotel Le Jardin de Cluny is located in the center of the Latin Quarter, which is part of the Left Bank (Rive Gauche) in the Fifth Arrondissement. The Latin Quarter, which acquired its name from the early Latin speaking students and professors of the Sorbonne University, is referred to as the artistic and intellectual heart and soul of Paris. Narrow, winding cobble-stoned streets add to the charm and delight in exploring this area. In addition to many notable monuments and churches, numerous restaurants, cafes, bookstores, boutiques, jazz clubs and interesting establishments occupy the district.

Significant sights and attractions in the Latin Quarter include:

Notre Dame Cathedral – Within a 5 minute stroll from Hotel Le Jardin de Cluny, Notre Dame Cathedral built between 1163 and 1345 is a Gothic masterpiece of extraordinary proportions.  Additionally, a breathtaking view of Paris is available by climbing the 385 steps in the Cathedral’s Towers. Cathedral open daily, year-round 8 am – 6:45 pm.; no charge. Towers open 10 am – 6:30 pm; closed Tuesday; charge.
