The upcoming Games are the major event of the year in Paris

YOUR STAY IN PARIS DURING THE GAMES

The Games are THE event not to be missed in Paris. The Hotel des Marronniers can help you organise your stay in Paris. Here are some information you may find useful …

IMPORTANT :
  • The Hôtel des Marronniers is located in the red zone of the security perimeter for the opening ceremony from 18 to 26 of July. During this period, justification is required for motorised vehicles. Your booking confirmation will be requested at the checkpoints if you are travelling by taxi.

  • Motorised traffic will not be allowed around the hotel from 1:00 pm on 26th of July. Perfect time to visit the area without any cars around. 😀

  • On July 27th, August 3rd and 4th, a digital pass will be required for motorised access to the hotel. Judith, Seryne and Yann will be pleased to assist you if you need.

ACCESS TO HOTEL

From CDG airport (note that this route is used for some Olympic venues)
  • By Taxi :Access to CDG airport is also used for certain Olympic venues. As a result, there is a dedicated lane on the road, which will cause disruption and delays along the way. If you want to take a taxi to Paris, you can do so, but it will take longer. The price is fixed at €62.
  • By RER B : the RER B will take you directly to Saint-Michel Notre-Dame station, just a few minutes’ walk from the hotel. As with the taxi journey, this is the one of the most used transport to get to the Olympic places, which will mean a higher density of passengers.

Superb stay, very comfy beds, great location!

Lovely boutique hotel, incredibly comfortable beds, spotless rooms & bathrooms, delicious breakfast, very friendly staff, and fantastic location! A true gem in the best neighborhood in Paris. Highly recommended!

Charming hotel with a touch of elegance.
Charming old hotel on a picture perfect street in the perfect area for eating, drinking, sightseeing and shopping. Rooms are small – it’s Paris! – but very comfortable- bed was terrific, breakfast was exceptionally good, staff are warm and helpful. Bathrooms can be tiny, but everything highly functional. We loved being just a few minutes from bustling Saint-Germaine, but on a quiet street with interesting shops. Wonderful restaurants, cafes and bistros abound. An old fashioned Parisian experience that we loved.
