Gourmet getaway, for lovers,
in Paris Left Bank

From this glorious era, the prestigious school remains, the Latin Quarter known for its liveliness… and a whole cultural side of the city of light! Enough to live unforgettable moments, as a couple, in the City of Love.

Start your journey with a good table!

Paris, and France more generally, is recognized for its gastronomy and its art of the table. Since the creation of restaurants following the French revolution, the number of eating establishments has only grown, and enthusiasts rise early every day to select and work with quality products.

Just steps away from the historic district of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, chef François Gagnaire takes pleasure in cooking these quality products (notably those from the Haute-Loire region) at restaurant Anicia. This highlighting of his work has earned him a plate in the Michelin guide and two toques at Gault et Millau, distinctions that reward his work around products from his native land and products from the Ile-de-France region for a result rich in flavors.

Rest in a haven of peace

The Left Bank of Paris is full of cultural places to visit, on foot, along the magnificent facades, parks and gardens (including the Luxembourg Garden!). Spanning 24 hectares, the Luxembourg Garden is indeed an essential stop for strolling together… or enjoying a coffee break in a natural setting.

This route will naturally lead you to Hotel Le Royal Rive Gauche, located just a few steps from the garden. This beautiful establishment offers you all the necessary comfort in an elegant environment, ideal for resting. The staff will be at your service to help organize your second day of discovery, perhaps from the hotel’s lounge and maybe accompanied by a glass of wine. The hotel has 48 suites and rooms, all carefully decorated.

An exceptional restaurant steeped in history

After a day exploring the treasures of the Left Bank (and why not the capital’s famous catacombs, for the more adventurous!), what could be better than dinner in a Parisian institution where time seems to stand still? Just a stone’s throw from the hustle and bustle of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Allard perpetuates the soul of the great Parisian bourgeois houses with its sincere, timeless cuisine.

In a cosy setting where mirrors and wood panelling recall almost a century of history, refinement is achieved through the simplicity of signature dishes, inherited from a culinary tradition where respect for the product is paramount. Founded in 1932 and taken over by Alain Ducasse, this iconic restaurant celebrates French gastronomy at its most authentic. Challans duck with olives, sole meunière and the inevitable gougère soufflé with Comté cheese are all sublimated with generosity and precision.

It’s a place where couples come together to savour a cuisine that speaks to the heart as much as to the taste buds.

End on an artistic note

After visiting the Luxembourg Garden, the catacombs, the Montparnasse district, the Musée d’Orsay, and the most beautiful stores in southern Paris… You can find calm at Clos Médicis, not far from Boulevard Saint-Germain.

This building, erected in 1773, is the perfect place to rest, each room offering optimal comfort and careful decoration. Clean lines, flamboyant colors, antique style objects… will win you over during your short stay.

In the evening, after visiting the many nearby art galleries, let yourself be tempted by the beautiful intimate patio or the Bar & Lounge of Clos Médicis.
