Our hotel is located in the 5th arrondissement of Paris. The Latin Quarter on the left bank of the Seine is the meeting place between a multitude of nationalities, it is one of the most famous areas of Paris in the world that attracts various visitors.
Le The Luxembourg Garden is located on the edge of the Latin Quarter, about 15 minutes walk from the Hotel du Levant as you can see on this map. It is inspired by the Florentine garden Boboli. Created at the initiative of Queen Mary of Medici in 1612, this 25-hectare garden is divided into two parts: one part French and the other English. A geometric forest and a large basin delineate the two parts. Like the neighbourhood in which it is located, the Luxembourg gardens offers a wide range of activities for everyone.
