The dazzle of modern times combined with the magic of history in the comfortable, convenient setting of this charming hotel located in one of the oldest parts of the Marais : the Temple district. Le Vieux Saule means « the old willow tree. » The tree actually existed where the hotel now stands and is the one under which Queen Marie Antoinette often sat and contemplated. With its bright renovated rooms and breakfast buffet served in a 16th century vaulted celler, free sauna for hotel guests and their friends, and an attentive and welcoming staff, the Vieux Saule will make your stay unforgettable. The hotel is located near four metro stations and many bus stops and is only a short walk from the Pompidou Center, City Hall, Notre Dame, Bastille Opera, Place des Vosges, the Carnavalet, Picasso, and Arts et Métiers museums, and hundreds of good restaurants and shopping possibilities.
