CITY GUIDE
Hôtel Faubourg 88

Combining a vibrant local atmosphere, a bohemian lifestyle and Haussmann-style elegance, Faubourg 88 is ideally situated on Rue du Faubourg Poissonnière, between Gare du Nord and Gare de l’Est, on the doorstep of Montmartre and the Canal Saint-Martin.

Strolling along the Canal Saint-Martin

The bohemian and friendly spirit of Paris

Just a few minutes’ walk from the hotel, the Canal Saint-Martin unfolds with its cobbled quays, cast-iron footbridges and legendary locks, immortalised on the big screen. This unmissable hub of activity brings together Parisians and travellers who come to stroll, have a picnic on the banks or relax on a terrace.

By day, let yourself be swept up in the neighbourhood’s laid-back atmosphere, amongst designer boutiques, independent bookshops and concept stores housed in former workshops. By night, the Canal takes on a new character, revealing a scene of cocktail bars and hidden-gem restaurants favoured by those in the know.

Head up to Montmartre & Pigalle

The artistic and festive spirit of the Butte

About a fifteen-minute walk from Faubourg 88, the Butte Montmartre continues to captivate with its village-like charm and timeless atmosphere. Perched atop the hill, the neighbourhood offers one of the most beautiful panoramic views of Paris, dominated by the white silhouette of the Sacré-Cœur Basilica.

Lose yourself in the cobbled streets around the Place du Tertre, where you’ll encounter street artists, before heading to the Abbesses district with its colourful façades and traditional cafés, which have witnessed the emergence of some of the greatest names in painting.

Just a few metro stops from Faubourg 88, the Grands Boulevards and the Opéra Garnier district embody the Haussmannian elegance of Paris. Historic theatres, department stores and 19th-century façades create a setting perfect for both strolling and shopping.

The Opéra Garnier, an architectural gem with sumptuous frescoes, stands proudly at the heart of this bustling neighbourhood. Nearby, Galeries Lafayette and Printemps Haussmann rival each other in elegance beneath their iconic domes, whilst the neighbouring covered arcades, the Passage des Panoramas and the Passage Jouffroy, offer a refined, retro escape, with their antique bookshops and tea rooms.
