Details

Only a few blocks from the Parc Floral (a flower garden) and the Vincennes Zoo, you can take a walk toward the center of Paris using the viaduct which will lead you to the Opéra Bastille. You can either walk on the top of the Roman viaduct which has been transformed into an elevated garden or under the viaduct where you will discover a multitude of art and artisan shops. Hotel de la Porte Doree is located a few minutes by metro from the downtown tourist path and only a few blocks from the Bois de Vincennes where you can enjoy a morning jog or take the children on a picnic by the lake. From Hotel de la Porte Doree, you can walk to the center of Paris along an old roman viaduct that has been transformed into an elevated garden, “la promenade plantée”, also called “la coulée verte”. If you prefer, you may stay on avenue Damesnil and follow the brick arches of the viaduct that now hold a string of design galleries and workshops called, the “Viaduc des Arts”. The avenue Daumesnil where Hotel de la Porte Doree is located is a typical Parisian street, with its flowers, vegetables and butcher shops. Many buses and subway lines can place you near all the points of Paris in very short order.
