Gourmet getaway, for lovers,
in Paris Rive Gauche

Fancy a romantic and gourmet getaway in Paris? We suggest you (re)discover the magnificent Left Bank of our capital. This is the area where intellectuals gathered in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district, artists in the Montparnasse district, jazz musicians and enthusiasts, as well as teachers and students at the La Sorbonne school.

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.

From the hotel to the plate, there’s only one step…

After continuing the discovery of the Left Bank (why not in the famous catacombs of the capital, for the more adventurous!), you can sit down at one of the flagship addresses on rue du Château.

L’assiette, through its chef David Rathgeber, offers traditional gourmet dishes revisited, depending on the seasons and the quality of the products. A true sensory and taste experience is offered to you there. Trained by great names in cooking including Alain Ducasse, David Rathgeber embarked on the adventure with his “auberge” which takes you on a journey to Auvergne. As a charcutier by training, the chef’s cuisine is also marked by childhood dishes such as head pâté, terrines…

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.
