To the east is the Jardin des Plantes and its impressive Museum of Natural History, where you can stroll and soak up the atmosphere. Wander its greenery-fringed paths and wonder at the awe-inspiring sights in its galleries.

The Pantheon
Located atop the hill of Sainte-Geneviève, the Pantheon was once a church dedicated to the patron saint of Paris. Today it’s a renowned necropolis where the great citizens of the Republic lie at rest.
The author from which our hotel takes its theme, Alexandre Dumas, was interred here in 2002. The view of Paris from the colonnade of the Dome alone makes it well worth a visit.

The Jardin des Plantes
Once a medicinal herb garden for royalty, today the Jardin des Plantes is a green space open to the public, offering visitors beautiful flower beds and avenues of plane trees where they can stop, sit on a bench and enjoy the calm of the place.
A magnificent winter garden contains dozens of exotic plants, including banana and palm trees, which allow us to continue our journey through the world of the Count of Monte Cristo.

The Paris Catacombs
The Paris Catacombs is a unique and amazing place. Even lower than the Metro or the sewers, this gigantic ossuary is a winding labyrinth filled with over 6 million bones from various Parisian cemeteries.
The ambient temperature never exceeds 15 degrees, but it’s the frescoes and sculptures made of skulls and bones that will make you shiver. It’s a doorway to another world, right here under our feet.
