Visit early to get a table as it's a tiny place and it gets busy. Very affordable prices and great value for quality. Typical Parisian vibe & scene!

This is the authentic famous hotel which inspired the 1938 film by Marcel Carné "Hotel du Nord". It is also the main inspiration source of the book by the same name, since the author was actually the hotel tenants' son who would write about the simple lives of ordinary parisians but high in colour!

Arts & Culture
The best thing to do on a rainy day in Paris is to go to the museum! Unfortunately many will have the same idea ;)
Buy a Paris Museum Pass if you plan on seeing more than 2 sites a day in order to cut long queues at the entrance.
Orsay is the place to go if you love the Impressionists and are eager to see original paintings by Manet, Renoir, Monet, Van Gogh or Degas.
