Discover Paris

In the heart of the 8th arrondissement of Paris, the Madeleine, the Elysée Palace, the Faubourg Saint Honoré and Tuileries districts with the Louvre Museum, and a few minutes walking distance from the Concorde Place which was recently a major competition site for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

On one side the Champs Elysées and the Grand Palais, on the other the Opera Garnier and the Department Stores, walking distance from the Madeleine, the rue Royale, the Faubourg Saint Honoré and rue de Miromesnil and its amazing art galleries like OA Fine Art pictured on the left, the Hotel Alison is an invitation to fully experience Paris !

The rue de Surène has been home for Jean Cocteau, Jean Marais, who were devotees of the area, and in the book “Les Confidences d’Arsène Lupin”, the famous burglar lived there under the aka of Jean Dubreuil …
