At Hotel Yllen Eiffel, we urge you to venture out of the hotel and explore our neighbourhood, which has a real village feel. Our staff know all its secrets.
Here, well-known bakeries sit beside charming bistros and brasseries, while artists’ studios line the parks and gardens. You won’t be able to resist a stroll along the wide tree-lined avenues or a browse around the markets.
And let’s not forget the oldest jazz club in Paris, just a stone’s throw from the hotel, where Josephine Baker’s voice still echoes today.
From Parc André Citroën to Montparnasse Tower, the 15th arrondissement of Paris testifies to the city’s history, evolution and complexity.
The district was born when the towns of Vaugirard and Grenelle were annexed by the capital in 1860, and is where the capital’s industrial, artistic and rural origins come together.
The street of Vaugirard
The longest street in Paris, the street of Vaugirard stretches over four kilometers in length, between Saint-Placide and the Porte de Versailles.
Since its creation by the Romans to link Paris (then Lutetia) and Chartres, the street of Vaugirard has been home to a mixture of century-old institutions, such as the Pasteur Institute or the Pantheon-Assas University, artists' and philosophers' residences, such as Michel Foucault, and monuments of the popular history of Paris.
The Bal Blomet
The oldest jazz club still in operation in Europe, the Bal Blomet is an institution of the Paris of the Roaring Twenties, with its swirling parties that welcomed artists and politicians of the 1920s around its figurehead Robert Desnos.
Before Saint-Germain, Sydney Bechet and Juliette Gréco used to dance at the Bal Blomet, as well as Prévert and Mondrian. Josephine Baker swung her famous skirts there, and it is said that her laughter still resonates...
Today, the Bal Blomet is both a café-bar and a concert hall with a multicultural program, but always with a penchant for jazz!
The artists' studios
Around the hotel, there is an artistic abundance that can be found throughout the neighborhood: surrealists Pablo Gargallo, Joan Miró, André Masson, Francis Picabia and Robert Desnos were all roommates at 45 rue Blomet, while unique urban planning projects such as the Villa Santos-Dumont still welcome recognized artists today.
