A stay at the Paris France Hotel, in the heart of the Marais, means immersing yourself in a district rich with history, just steps from Paris’s greatest heritage sites. Among the cultural highlights of the moment, the exhibition “In the Seine — Objects Found from Prehistory to the Present Day”, presented at the Archaeological Crypt of Île de la Cité, offers a fascinating journey into the past.
A unique exhibition carried by the river
The Seine is not only the backbone of Paris, it is also a witness to its history. For centuries, its waters have held countless objects — lost, discarded, or forgotten. The exhibition brings together discoveries spanning from Prehistory to the modern era: tools, jewelry, ceramics, and unusual objects that reveal the daily lives of Parisians through the ages.
The Archaeological Crypt: a place steeped in history
Located beneath the forecourt of Notre-Dame, the Archaeological Crypt of Île de la Cité provides an exceptional setting for this exhibition. Among Gallo-Roman and medieval remains, visitors wander through a space where every stone tells the story of the capital’s past. It’s an opportunity to better understand the urban and cultural evolution of Paris, in direct connection with the river that runs through it.
The Marais: a living witness of Parisian history
During your stay at the Paris France Hotel, you’ll also enjoy the unique historical atmosphere of the Marais. With its grand townhouses, medieval alleyways, and museums, the district extends the cultural experience into your everyday strolls. Between visiting the exhibition and exploring this emblematic neighborhood, your stay becomes a true journey through time.
