How about a wink from Paris?

Surroundings of our hotel near the Grand Rex in Paris

In the heart of Paris’s 9th arrondissement, in the lively, curious Faubourg Montmartre, a house stirs with flair. Staying at Faubourg Galant means stepping into a theatre of architecture and emotion, where every scene can be reached on foot.

Our hotel near the Grand Rex in Paris is discreetly nestled between the glittering storefronts of the Grands Boulevards and the rooftops of Montmartre. Just push open our door, and the city unfolds like a fan.

Follow the guide: each stop below reveals the spirit of a unique place, a few practical pointers, and a suggestion or two for wandering further.

Le Grand Rex

900 m | 13 min walk

An Art Deco icon since 1932, the Grand Rex stretches its façade along boulevard Poissonnière and invites you to look up at its star-studded ceiling. Take a seat in its 2,700-seat hall for a film concert or a red-carpet premiere. The velvet stairs and monumental stage remind you that, here, film flirts with live performance. As you leave the screening, a short walk brings you back to the refined calm of Faubourg Galant, the rare privilege of a hotel near the Grand Rex in Paris.

Palais Garnier

1,6km | 20 min walk

A masterpiece by Charles Garnier, the Opéra blends multicoloured marble, a grand staircase, and a ceiling by Chagall. By day, admire the Library-Museum. By night, enjoy a contemporary ballet or an opera; a treat for both the eyes and the ears. Before leaving, don’t miss the view from place de l’Opéra: it frames the avenue like a triumphal corridor of cafés and Second Empire façades.

Galeries Lafayette Haussmann

900 m | 14 min walk

Beneath the glass dome of coloured stained glass, the Galeries Lafayette showcase fashion, jewellery, and perfume like living canvases. Or head straight to the 8th floor rooftop: it offers a 360° view of Paris, including the Eiffel Tower. Back on the ground floor, explore the Gourmet section for artisan chocolates, rare salts, and signature pastries — edible souvenirs that rarely make it back to the hotel.

Les Grands Boulevards

Right at the hotel’s doorstep

Poissonnière, Bonne-Nouvelle, Montmartre…these streets fuelled the literary and theatrical energy of the 19th century. By day, admire the wrought-iron balconies and iconic kiosks of Baron Haussmann. By night, follow the lit-up marquees towards boulevard comedies and popular plays. In between acts, slip into a covered passage: Jouffroy and Verdeau feature period glass roofs, mosaic floors, rare bookshops and old-world windows like scenes from vintage films. On rainy days, the rhythm of drops on the glass is the best soundtrack for a stroll.

Musée Grévin

600 m | 9 min walk

In the same Jouffroy passage, the wax museum founded in 1882 showcases over 220 lifelike figures. Are they real? The illusion is strong. Pose beside Edith Piaf or Leonardo DiCaprio beneath the gilded ceilings of the Hall of Columns. Kids love spotting superheroes and athletes; grown-ups are drawn to the cupola room signed by Giandomenico Facchina — the perfect stop between city outings.

Théâtre Mogador

900 m | 13 min walk

Broadway meets Paris at the Mogador, staging musicals for over a century.
From The Lion King to Chicago or Mamma Mia!, the live orchestra and revolving sets leave you humming all the way out. Ask our concierge to book your seats. At intermission, enjoy a drink at the velvet bar and let the show linger.

Moulin Rouge

1,3 km | 17 min walk

At the edge of Pigalle, the red windmill still spins like an eternal carousel.
The revue Féerie brings together 80 performers, acrobats, feathers and cancan beneath a mirrored ceiling. For the full dinner-and-show experience, arrive a few minutes early, take in the glowing entrance, and let the champagne seal the evening.

Montmartre

1,5 km | 20 min walk + optional funicular

Start at place Saint-Georges, climb rue Notre-Dame-de-Lorette to reach the stairs on rue des Martyrs. At the top, the Sacré-Cœur awaits, its travertine-white basilica towering over Paris like a lighthouse. Continue to rue des Saules for the Clos Montmartre the city’s only vineyard, or find the Lapin Agile, a historic cabaret with pink shutters. In the afternoon, the open-air artists’ studios on place du Tertre prolong the bohemian spirit. Come evening, wander back down to Faubourg Galant and slip into the quiet of your room.

Musée du Louvre

1,7 km | 25 min walk / 10 min by metro

The largest museum in the world, the Louvre displays nearly 35,000 works.

Pick a wing (Egyptian, Italian, French) to avoid visual fatigue, and reward yourself with a pause at Café Marly beneath the carved arches. Exit through the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel to enter the Tuileries Garden: paths designed by Le Nôtre alternate reflecting ponds, contemporary sculptures and iconic green chairs, perfect for a picnic with goodies picked up earlier at Galeries Gourmet.

Jardin des Tuileries

Stretching over 23 hectares, the city’s oldest public garden deserves a stroll of its own. At the east end, the Orangerie displays Monet’s Water Lilies; eight monumental panels in soft natural light. Toward place de la Concorde, the seasonal Ferris wheel offers a bird’s-eye view of the Seine, the Assemblée, and Les Invalides: when Paris rises, so does your photo album.

Choosing Faubourg Galant means stepping into a living postcard.

To finish…

Every street, every passage tells a story; no fixed itinerary required. Whether you head out for a film concert at the Grand Rex, get lost among escalators and shop windows at Galeries Lafayette, or count the steps of the Sacré-Cœur, your footsteps will always lead you back.

As the day fades, storefronts glow in gold, and your Galant key slips into the door to end one chapter and open another at the next curtain rise. Because in Paris, the show begins anew each morning and we’re honoured to keep your seat in the wings.
