LE MARAIS, MORE ROMANTIC THAN EVER. |
|||||||||||||||||
Bonjour parismarais® readers, What could be a more romantic place to be during the month of February than Paris? In fact, it’s the official Month of Romanticism here, so take advantage of all of the delightfully romantic things to see and do here. Whether you’re single or not, there’s something for everyone, and if you do happen to be single, perhaps you will meet your dream mate while enjoying the City of Light. Worth visiting : the new bells of Notre Dame have arrived! The celebrations for the cathedral’s 850th birthday began December 12th 2012, and will continue until November 24th 2013. Eight of the nine new bells were cast in Villedieu-les-Poêles, a town in Lower Normandy known as « the city of copper », and arrived in Paris to the monument by flatbed trucks on January 31st 2013. The eight bells together weigh 23 tons and the ninth, largest bell, known as a “Bourdon” (Great Bell), cast in Holland, is over 6,000 kilos. They replace those which are now discordant. The new bells will be on display until February 25th 2013, and will ring for the first time on March 23rd in honour of Palm Sunday and Easter week. Each of the nine bells are engraved. The eight smaller ones are engraved with saint’s names- Jean-Marie, Maurice, Benoit-Joseph, Steven, Marcel, Dennis, Anne-Genevieve, Gabriel. The Great Bell is engraved with the French words to “Hail Mary” and is in fact named Marie. We have selected the most romantic hotels for your stay. Book them directly online through parismarais.com and avoid the big reservation centers. You will get the best rooms and the best rates direct with the hotel reception as well as benefit from our exclusive offers. From all of us at ParisMarais.com, Happy Valentine’s Day !

Hotel Le Bourg Tibourg ****In one of the most picturesque parts of Paris, the Bourg Tibourg Hotel is steeped in the atmosphere of the Marais. It is an excellent departure point for strolls through the historical and cultural heart of Paris including Place des Vosges, Notre Dame, and the Carnavalet Museum. The surprising decor by Jacques Garcia is inspired neo-gothic with a spicy touch of the orient and softened by a very romantic and very "French" touch. The rooms combine harmony and elegance with modern comfort. The small, enclosed garden designed by Camille Muller and the 5th-floor balcony offer a striking view of the Paris skyline. 19 rue du Bourg Tibourg |
