One of the liveliest areas in all of Paris, the 9th arrondissement is commonly known for the impressive Palais Garnier – and for being a little risqué.
Home to the Moulin Rougue, funky restaurants, and more than its fair share of adult shops, this area is boldly unapologetic and highly refreshing.
Here’s a look at my favorite experiences from a short (yet memorable) stay in and around the 9th arrondissement.
When I first discovered Hotel Sacha online, my little actor heart was thumping with joy. A hotel designed to look like a black box theater? In Paris? Sign me up!
It was unique, it was imaginative, it was unlike anything I’d ever seen. I just had to experience it for myself. So, with my husband and a carry-on in tow, that’s exactly what I did.
My trip to Paris was made complete by a luxury stay at La Maison Favart. Located in the upscale 2nd arrondissement, this elegant boutique hotel was a welcome sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of city life. Steeped in fascinating history, an appreciation of its origins made my stay all the richer.
Here’s an inside look into the memorable experience my husband and I enjoyed at La Maison Favart.
