"A hotel in the center of the Quartier Latin, one of Paris-lovers’ favorite parts of Paris" Located in the center of the Quartier Latin, the Hotel Parc Saint Séverin overlook a peaceful pedestrian road amid the busy, intertwining lanes that date back to the Middle Ages. The Rue de la Parcheminerie takes its name from parchment merchants who worked here in the 14th century, when the trade was a prosperous one. The schools and students of the Latin Quarter came here to buy their parchment, making this a very busy street. Later Diderot’s first home in Paris in this street. Just a few minutes’ walk away, you can stroll past the booksellers on the quays of the Seine, discover Sorbonne University and the Saint-Michel Fountain and then the majestic Notre Dame Cathedral on the other bank. Picturesque Île Saint Louis and timeless Jardin du Luxembourg are also nearby, from the hotel. But beyond the historic situation of the site, it is the view over the rooftops of Paris, Notre Dame Cathedral, the church and cloister of Saint Séverin, the Panthéon and even the Eiffel Tower that give the Parc Saint Séverin Hotel its inimitable charm, at the heart of the 5th arrondissement, the romantic heart of Paris.
