Your hotel in Montparnasse, an iconic neighborhood
A lively neighborhood, between culture and hidden villages
In Paris, every neighborhood has its own soul. Montparnasse, on the Left Bank, combines artistic excitement with a relaxed lifestyle.
It's a district where history, writers' cafés, tree-lined squares, artists' studios, and the modernity of a Paris on the move all come together.
Your hotel near iconic sites
From your hotel in Montparnasse, you are in the heart of a neighborhood with a thousand faces.
There, the Montparnasse Tower pierces the clouds. Below, the Catacombs take you into the bowels of the city. A few streets away, the Jean Moulin Museum and the Giacometti Institute open the doors to art and history. In the evening, the stages of the Bobino theater and the Gaîté-Montparnasse light up. And then there are the peaceful alleyways—Rue Daguerre, Villa Hallé, Cité Bauer—where Paris becomes a garden, a workshop, a whisper...
From the Villa Modigliani, everything can be explored on foot or by metro: convenient and eco-friendly!
From the hotel, explore all of Paris
The 14th arrondissement offers an ideal location for getting around the capital. From Villa Modigliani, everything is within walking distance or a short metro ride away:
- Montparnasse station 5 minutes away,
- RER B train to Roissy or Orly airports,
- Several metro lines to explore both banks of the river: Montparnasse-Bienvenüe, Edgar Quinet, Vavin.
This is one of the great advantages of this neighborhood: combining the tranquility of a residential district with the accessibility of a central hub.
Montparnasse: art and life
Once a bohemian neighborhood, now a business district, Montparnasse naturally blends different eras and rhythms. Around the train station and the tower, the streets come alive with bookstores, theaters, legendary brasseries, and cafés with lively terraces.
Where Picasso, Man Ray, Modigliani, and Kiki de Montparnasse once crossed paths, local venues now welcome today's creative energy. Bobino, La Gaîté, and L'Entrepôt attract lovers of laughter, music, and beautiful voices.
Our favorites in the 14th arrondissement
Between art, nature, and neighborhood life, the 14th arrondissement has some wonderful surprises in store just a few steps from your hotel in Montparnasse. Inspiring walks, shows, museums, or gardens... here are our favorite places to explore:
- Rue Daguerre: a lively pedestrian street lined with markets, terraces, bookshops, and artisans.

A lively neighborhood with a village spirit
They say Paris is a village. The 14th arrondissement is the perfect example. This corner of the Left Bank has seen several small towns grow up—Petit Montrouge, Pernety, the new village of Orléans—which have merged over time to form a mosaic-like district.
Cobbled streets, discreet squares, tree-lined plazas, and neighborhood markets... Here, life unfolds at a human scale. On Rue Daguerre, Rue Hallé, and Rue Mouton-Duvernet, the terraces buzz with the conversations of regulars. The pace is gentle, the atmosphere authentic. It's the kind of Parisian neighborhood we love: vibrant, welcoming, and multifaceted.
