Saturday: the historic heart
Start at Place des Vosges, 100 m from the hotel, then step into Victor Hugo's house or one of the museums of Le Marais. In the afternoon, wander the lanes and look for the mansion courtyards that are left open.
For lunch and dinner, see our picks in where to eat near Bastille.
Sunday: from Bastille to the water
Head down to Place de la Bastille (200 m), climb up to the Promenade plantée, then continue to the Arsenal marina and the Canal Saint-Martin. If time allows, end at Notre-Dame and Île Saint-Louis, under 20 minutes on foot.
A weekend without transport
Almost everything is walkable. For a longer trip, Bastille station (lines 1, 5 and 8) is about 100 m away: see getting around from the hotel.
Good to know. Opening hours and prices change: check each venue's official website before you go.
