Hôtel Bellevue
L’Hôtel Bellevue, un hôtel de 3 étoiles entièrement rénové en 2003, est bien situé au pied du Sacré Cœur dans le quartier Montmartre, avec ses cafés et restaurants pleins d’ambiance et d’atmosphère dans les environs immédiats. On a accès direct à tous les divertissements touristiques en partant du métro Anvers, qui n’est qu’à deux arrêts de la Gare du Nord, et pas loin de l’Etoile (Champs-Elysées) et Opéra.
Gothic Royal Chapel
22, avenue Victoria, 75001 Paris
The Ste Chapelle enclosed into the structure of the Palais de la Cité stood both as a religious and a political symbol reflecting the double function of the king, both a temporal and a spiritual leader .It is not only a palatine chapel (higher chapel for the king and a lower chapel for the public) but first of all a reliquary chapel of the most daring gothic architecture offering an airy cage of light to the holy relics.
Not far from there was the Conciergerie prison, where people sentenced to death spent their last moments. The most famous prisoners were Queen Marie-Antoinette, Robespierre, the architect of the Reign of Terror, the future Napoleon III.
In 1914 the Conciergerie ceased to be a prison; it was declared a national historic monument and opened to the public.
