Rome Toolkit Hotels in Grands Boulevards Paris (Arrondissement 9)
Central but much cheaper than hotels only 10 minutes' walk away by Opera Garnier
Hotels in Grands Boulevards are in a loosely defined area just to the north-east of the centre of Paris in the district of Arrondissement 9, but still easily walkable to the Opera Garnier and places like the Louvre.
Arrondissement 9 is central, but in a short distance the differential of prices between hotels in the eastern side of Arrondissement 9 is great compared to the premium hotel rates charged around Opera Garnier.
The boulevards were constructed in several phases by central government initiatives a few hundred years ago. The Grands Boulevards are essentially 'the best' of the Parisian boulevards, wide tree-lined avenues designed for strolling.
For the purpose of definition we have classified the area as being around Boulevard Poissonniere and Rue La Fayette as they lead out of the Opera Garnier area in the centre.
What to expect from the Grands Boulevards hotel area of Paris?
Transport
Today Metro lines 7, 8 and 9 follow these roads and are the main transport arteries for visitors staying here.
Public transport is very good with an endless stream of buses every few seconds passing along the main boulevards on bus lanes as well as the Metro. Many of the buses are going to Gare du Nord on the edge of the district with fast rail links to both main airports and Eurostar and Thalys rail services to Northern Europe. There is also an airport bus from Opera Garnier to Charles de Gaulle Airport.
Location and attractions
The Grands Boulevard hotel area reflect the 'value for money' attraction of the area and is full of mid-range and budget hotels including global chains like ibis and Best Western hotels.
The Grands Boulevards area is a bustling lively area with lots of small restaurants, boutiques shops and markets along the main thoroughfares. Just step away from the main roads and some areas have a village like feel.
There are a few of the 'Passages' in the area the old fashion shopping galleries now filled with small second hand book shops, collectors shops as well as general merchandise.
