The 6th arrondissement of Paris
Rue de Seine, where the Hotel Prince de Condé is located, is in the heart of Paris's 6th arrondissement. It begins on quai Malaquai, crosses the districts of Monnaie, Odéon and Saint-Germain des Prés, and ends on rue Saint Sulpice.
Opposite the Hôtel Prince de Condé, a very narrow street leads to rue Bonaparte at the level of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts: this is rue Visconti, which in the 17th century was inhabited by a majority of Protestants (who, incidentally, escaped the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre), earning this street the nickname "Little Geneva".
Must-see sites and monuments in the 6th arrondissement
Thanks to its location in the 6th arrondissement, right in the heart of Paris, staying at the Prince de Condé hotel gives you quick and easy access (less than 15 minutes) to the major monuments of central Paris:
- Ecole nationale supérieure des beaux-arts
- Monnaie de Paris
- Passerelle des arts
Smart Paris
Rue de Seine, which intersects with Rue des Beaux-Arts, Rue Visconti, Rue Jacob and Rue Buci, is ideally located in the center of Paris's 6th arrondissement, and offers a vast collection of art galleries and restaurants.
This maze of alleyways is home to a host of fashion and interior design boutiques, not to mention the haute couture stores of Boulevard Saint Germain. Creation excels in the fields of haute couture, with Isabelle Marant just around the corner, and top pastry chefs, intimately connected to fashion in creation and collections, with Pierre Hermé and Ladurée among others.
