HOTEL DU LION, Paris

The hotel sits directly at the entrance of Denfert-Rochereau Metro and RER station, where lines 4 and 6 of the metro connect to central sights such as Notre-Dame, the Eiffel Tower and Montparnasse station. The RER B line provides non-stop rail service from Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports to within one minute's walk of the hotel. The surrounding area is safe and lively, with Rue Daguerre's pedestrian market street immediately opposite offering supermarkets, bakeries, restaurants and fruit vendors. Many independent shops, cafes and bars are within 300 metres along Rue Daguerre and the neighbouring streets. The Catacombs of Paris are directly across the square. Several bus stops outside the hotel give alternative routes across the city. The neighbourhood is well suited to walking to the Île de la Cité in about 30-40 minutes.
