An Inn at the end of a gourmet trail in Paris - France accommodation

It’s just a convenient Eurostar trip to the heart of Paris where dining and lodging choices are pivotal for any successful stay. Concierge Traveller recommends the Victoria Palace Hotel, located in a quartier of mostly private apartments and close to The Luxembourg Gardens, famed museums, fashion boutiques and local bistros. This privately owned hotel with its Louis Seize ambience and private art collection make it a place to be enjoyed for its charm and ease of access to local Parisian life.

Now creatively modernized, the hotel retains much of the look and style of its appearance on the scene in the early 1900’s but it has an all important lift and air conditioning. A little known but clever “treat” of this establishment is its culinary heritage tours where hotel guests can enjoy exclusive tastings topped with lashings of politesse on the trail. Visits take you to the establishments of food artisans whose treasured talents Parisians cherish. There are about eight stops on the trail including a fromagerie, a chocolaterie and a wine cellar.

Guy Batten says that the Left Bank is perfection for walkers who love unclichéd restaurants.
