To the east:

our quiet, pleasant street, emerging onto the Saint Martin Canal, which was established 200 years ago by order of King Charles X. Traffic is prohibited on its banks on Sundays; crowds of picnickers come to this agreeable, airy place on summer evenings. The canal's bridges, locks and sidewalk cafés complete this enchanting picture of a perfect Parisian evening.

To the north:

just above the hotel, a beautiful, flower-filled park - Square Villemin - was established in the former Recollets Convent. This convent, a lovely 18th century building, has become an artists' residence and cultural centre. This park is the perfect spot for a nap on the grass, or taking the time to read on the lawn.

To the south of the hotel:

Place de la Republique heralds the Grands Boulevards and the Theatre District. Just beyond, you enter the Marais, the historic heart of Paris.
