When considered as an embodiment of neighborhood experience within the larger city, Hotel de Varenne delivers the essence of the 7th, nestled along the back streets of Les Invalides, within a thirty-minute walk of the Louvre, Arc de Triumph, the Eiffel Tower, and many other landmarks. Along the Rue de Bourgogne, there are many lovely dining establishments (may we strenuously recommend 'L'Archestrates', an establishment that defines a rustic elegance of French (haute) cuisine) as well as a fully self-contained selection of fresh markets, apothecary, banking, baking, and local businesses that will serve any travel amenity needs you may have. Between the excellent and attentive staff, the well-appointed and cozy rooms and the local charm, Hotel de Varenne was the perfect stay. Merci Beaucoup!
