Hôtel Filigrane & Spa
A 2025 opening on rue Vivienne behind the old Bourse, worked in ink blues and forest greens. The distinction is below ground: a private indoor pool, hammam and sauna you can book by the 45-minute slot — uncommon at this size on the Right Bank.
Booking through this link may earn par.is a commission. Same price as anywhere.
Rooms run monochrome by colour; reserve the pool slot at check-in before it fills.

Around the corner
Passage des Panoramas · 20 m away
The Passage des Panoramas is the oldest of the covered passages of Paris, located in the 2nd arrondissement between the Boulevard Montmartre to the north and the Rue Saint-Marc to the south. It is one of the earliest venues of the Parisian philatelic trade, and it was one of the first covered commercial passageways in Europe. Bazaars and souks in the Orient had roofed commercial passageways centuries earlier, but the Passage de Panoramas innovated in having glazed roofing and, later on, in 1817, gas lights for illumination. It was an ancestor of the city gallerias of the 19th century and the covered suburban and city shopping malls of the 20th century.

Passage des Panoramas
1799 — the oldest covered passage in Paris and the first public space in the city to get gas lighting (1817). Today: stamp dealers, vintage postcards, several tiny restaurants that locals book a week ahead.
Enter from 11 Boulevard Montmartre. The signage etched in glass is original 1830s. Inside, look for Stern, the engraver at no. 47 — same family running the shop since 1834. Exit on Rue Saint-Marc and cross the boulevard.

Pissarro at Boulevard Montmartre
Camille Pissarro spent winter 1897 in room 9 of the Grand Hôtel de Russie, on the corner of Boulevard Montmartre and Rue Drouot, painting fourteen canvases of the boulevard from the window — the same view at different times of day, in different weather, a series most museums now own one of.
Stand on the south side of Boulevard Montmartre between Rue Drouot and Rue Vivienne, looking east. The hotel building is no. 1 Boulevard Montmartre — now offices, but the third-floor windows are the painting's vantage. The Passage des Panoramas entrance is right next to it.
- Bouillons & Brasseriesstop 1 of 6 · 150 m
Bouillon Chartier
7 Rue du Faubourg Montmartre, opened 1896. Still the original recipe: long communal tables, paper tablecloths, waiters in long aprons writing your order on the cloth itself. Three-course dinners under €20. The interior is classified historic.
No reservations — go at 17:30 (opening) or after 21:30 to skip the worst queue. Communal seating: you'll share a table with strangers, which is the whole point. Don't expect refined cooking; expect oeuf mayonnaise, hachis parmentier, and a crème caramel for €15 total.

Bouillon Chartier
1896. The dining room — coat racks, brass luggage shelves above the booths, beveled mirrors, painted ceiling — is unchanged since opening. Even the system of writing your bill on the paper tablecloth dates from 1896.
Stand at the entrance just inside the courtyard for thirty seconds and look at the room before you're seated. Best photo of the room is from the doorway. Order anything cheap; you're paying for the dining room, not the dish.
Within a few minutes' walk
- Passage des PanoramasCovered passage€ · 1 minThe oldest covered passage in Paris (1799): a glass-roofed gallery of stamp dealers and old engravers, now lined with good little bistros and wine bars. The rainy-afternoon move.
- Hôtel ChopinBudget hotel (in a passage)€ · 2 minBuilt into the glass-roofed Passage Jouffroy in 1846, so no room faces a street — the quietest look over rooftops, and the Musée Grévin shares the arcade.
- Bouillon Chartier (Grands Boulevards)Bouillon€ · 3 minAn 1896 dining hall with bowtied waiters who still write your order on the paper cloth. Pot-au-feu or steak tartare, for the old cheap-Paris ritual.
- Passage VerdeauCovered passage€ · 6 minThe 1847 northern end of the Panoramas-Jouffroy-Verdeau chain, and the quietest of the three. Its glass canopy lights a row of antiquarian booksellers and print dealers specialised down to the object: old cameras, postcards, engravings.
- Le MesturetTraditional bistro€€ · 6 minA seven-days-a-week bistro near the old Bourse where the kitchen cooks blanquette de veau and bœuf bourguignon straight, with no irony attached. The set menus do most of the work of keeping the bill sane.
- The Hoxton, ParisDesign hotel€€ · 7 minAn 18th-century residence turned design-led social hub in Sentier, with a leafy courtyard wine bar, an all-day brasserie and a speakeasy below.
The district · 2e
Bourse & Sentier — Covered passages and start-upsThe smallest arrondissement, threaded with nineteenth-century glass-roofed passages and, lately, the city's tech and restaurant energy around Rue Montorgueil and the old textile Sentier.
Best for: Eaters and drinkers who want to walk home; central without the Louvre crowds.
