Avre Hotel ***
The District
The district and its good addresses
The 15th arrondissement is home to multiple cultural spaces: museums, monuments and flower-filled parks. The Hotel de l'Avre is located in the Grenelle district, also known as the ministries district and among the most distinguished in Paris. Residential and peaceful, it is the ideal location between the most famous buildings, such as the Eiffel Tower and the Invalides and the quietest walkways of the city.
The hotel is located a ten-minute walk from the Champ-de-Mars, which offers one of the most scenic walks in Paris through a vast garden. It stretches from the École Militaire to the Eiffel Tower, and if you continue a little further across the Pont d'Iéna, you will arrive at the famous Trocadero Gardens.
Just 1.6 kilometres from the hotel is the Hôtel des Invalides, a major monument where visitors can explore the history of France. You can't miss this golden-domed building, which is adjacent to the Musée de l'Armée and the tomb of Napoleon I. On sunny days, you can even have a picnic on the large lawn of the esplanade des Invalides.
Not far from there, the Musée d'Orsay houses one of the largest collections of European art. A former railway station with magnificent architecture, it faces the Tuileries Garden on the other side of the Seine, which is located exactly between the Place de la Concorde and the Louvre Museum.
Among other cultural highlights nearby, you are only a few minutes' drive from the Rodin Museum and the Marmottan Monet Museum, two former mansions now dedicated to the conservation of the illustrious works of the French sculptor and painter.
