This is one of those beautiful buildings with molded ceilings and balconies at the windows that make up the charm and elegance of Paris. The Grand Hôtel Français is located at place de la Nation, one of Paris' major crossroads. Nearest metro station: Rue des Boulets and Nation.
Viaduc des Arts
Just south of the Bastille Opera was a former railway viaduct that
has now been converted into craftsmens stores and design boutiques.
Above the Viaduct is the Promenade Plante, which is an elevated
Park stretching from the Bastille to the Bois de Vincennes.
