Author tip

Just next door to the hotel is a Roman amphitheatre called the Arènes de Lutèce (49 Rue Monge, 5e), or Lutetia Arena, dating from the 2nd century and open to the public.

Curious fact

Celtic Gauls called Parisii (believed to mean 'boat men') established a small settlement on what is now the Île de la Cité in the 3rd century BC but were conquered some 200 years later by the Romans, who set up the town of Lutetia (from the Latin for 'mid-water dwelling').
