Paris is undoubtedly the most beautiful city in the world and retains all its glory in both summer and winter. An essential district for all who wish to experience pure Parisian charm, the Latin Quarter is particularly appealing during the winter.
A legendary district
Paris shows her face in different ways with the turning of the seasons, and each one has its own unique attractions, but winter is the time of year that particularly lends itself to discovering the delights of the capital. Draped in light that accentuates the countless architectural and historical treasures it offers, the Latin Quarter is a place of intrigue and fascination. The district’s location in the heart of the city ensures that it’s within reach of all the essential places you need to visit during a stay in the City of Light. And, thanks to its privileged location within this legendary district, the Hotel Best Western Quartier Latin offers the perfect base for a successful stay, being very close to the Jardin des Plantes, the Rue Mouffetard and the famous cathedral Notre-Dame de Paris.
Tourist attractions aplenty
For the traveller wishing to enjoy Paris when temperatures are low, there is plenty here in terms of attractions and activities. When the sky is grey and the air is sharp with a hint of frost, there’s no reason to be concerned, because the unique atmosphere of the world-famous Latin Quarter is no myth, and will envelop you in its warm embrace. Then, sustained against the chill, you can set off to discover all that the city has to offer, including her many superb museums. Not far from the Latin Quarter is the Louvre, perhaps the greatest museum in the world, where you can admire immortal works such as the Mona Lisa. The Musée d'Orsay is another special place to discover, especially when the weather is capricious.
A delight for every moment
Your discovery of Paris would certainly be incomplete without making the most of the gastronomic aspect of the capital. To appreciate the renowned quality of French cuisine, why not enjoy a delicious meal at one of the many top notch restaurants on the Rue Mouffetard, where you’ll be plunged into a world of fine food, high quality ingredients and the most surprising flavours? The Latin Quarter is hugely popular with Parisians and tourists, and boasts a lively atmosphere day and night, whatever the season. Here you can immerse yourself in the perfect Paris of picture postcards, and enjoy the warmth of the capital’s liveliest and trendiest bars, including the Café Barge, floating on the Seine. The City of Lights in cold weather also offers the opportunity to try some winter activities especially provided for the occasion. So strap on your ice skates and try out the beautiful pop-up rinks on the Champs Elysees, or the Trocadero, where you’ll have an amazing view of the Eiffel Tower across the Seine.
