Whilst Paris may be dubbed the city of light and the romance capital of not only Europe but the world, Paris is also the capital of art. It doesn’t matter what type of art is your forte, you’re bound to find it somewhere in the city. An an extra twist to your trip too by choosing one of the more grandly designed Paris hotels - from boutiques to big named, there are many to choose no matter what your budget.
Uncover your own Da Vinci Code... La Louvre has around 35,000 works of art on display from Greek to Roman antiques to Egyptian and Renaissance paintings, so it’s an experience you won’t want to miss out on. IM Pei’s light-filled pyramid is a sight in itself, but once inside, make a beeline for the most famous painting of all, Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. Head from the Paris hotels early to beat the crowds.
Gardens and grandeur...Art lovers or not, you’ll adore the Musee Rodin! Be sure to round off your trip with a visit to this museum, housed in a mansion where he lived and worked and that contained one of the largest private gardens in Paris. Whether you’re a Rodin fan or not, you can’t help but be in awe of the awesome sculptures and house itself.

An afternoon stroll...The stunning Villa La Roche was designed for Swiss art collector Corbusier in 1923. A fine example of modern architecture, you can also see all drawings, plans, notes and artworks that were left to the Fondation Le Corbusier upon his death in 1965. Take the time to appreciate the stunning attention to detail of this building.
Make an impression...The Musee d’Orsay houses the factors that shaped Impressionism – the birth of the railway, the Barbizon school and the open air. Boasting one of the most comprehensive collections of Impressionist Art in the world, take the time to view the city from the heights of the museum’s roof. You won’t be disappointed.
New art, old city.... Paris hotels to discover the next big thing at CentQuatre 104. Housed in a beautiful 19th century building on the rue d’Aubervilles, which used to house Paris’s municipal undertakers. Bringing Montmartre back to its artistic roots, the resident artists let their creativity flow and showcase the fruits of their labour in the art space next door. You’ll be inspired.
