Hotel Lyon Mulhouse is a hotel that can boast of its perfect location less than a 1 minute walk from Bastille Plaza. The French Revolution began when the people of Paris attacked a prison in Bastille on July 14th, 1789. In the middle of Bastille plaza is a monument commemorating the incident, making a strange contrast to the nearby Opera Bastille, which is a rather modern building. This neighborhood has a lot of cafes and bars, and a charming atmosphere that is bright and lively whether it’s day or night.
The Hotel Lyon Mulhouse is actually located on the boundary between the Bastille and Mallet districts. The east side of what Bastille Plaza faces still has the vestiges of the days when many furniture artisans had their studios in the area. Recently, many young creators have been steadily expanding their business in the neighborhood, centering on Rue de Charonne, where you can find the Pause Café. From the hotel’s west side the Mallet district spreads out, and Place des Vosges and the Picasso museum are only a short walk away.
The nearest station is Bastille, where three different Metro lines (1, 5, and 8) can take you directly to sightseeing spots and shopping areas in the heart of Paris.

The Hotel Lyon Mulhouse is actually built on the site where the 18th century playwright Beaumarchais, who wrote The Barber of Seville and The Marriage of Figaro, once lived, so it’s got a rich history. The street the hotel is on even has the name of Boulevard Beaumarchais. Remodeling of the entire building was completed in 2006, so they will have the facilities (such as air-conditioning and Wi-Fi (wireless internet, free in every room) to be able to provide you with a pleasant stay. Be sure to take note, not just of the amazing location, but also of their reasonable rates.
