At QUARTIER LIBRE****, we really want you to feel at home in Paris. That’s why we are explaining and passing on some French key cultural aspects, to help you make the most of your stay.
As the International Women’s Day takes place on March 8th, this week we want to celebrate Parisian women and share places dedicated to women’s achivement.
