With its village atmosphere, handsome 17th century architecture, narrow streets and magnificent views from its tree-lined quays, it remains delightfully unspoiled. Guests staying here will delight in the variety of boutiques, old-fashioned bistros and brasseries, chocolate and food shops, a florist, boulangeries, Berthillon ice creams, a wonderful cheese shop, art galleries and restaurants. Many of the main attractions of Paris are very close by, including the Pompidou Centre, the Louvre, the Sainte Chapelle and the Latin Quarter.
