Art is honoured in Paris

Paris is universally known as a great capital of culture. If you plan to visit the city in the coming weeks and you are a connoisseur of art in all its manifestations, or you simply enjoy a fascinating and informative show, there are two major art events you’ll want to catch during your stay.

Paris: a city of the arts

Paris attracts millions of visitors each year, drawn by the magnificence of the city’s architecture, history, reputation for superb food and great shopping and, of course, its many cultural, artistic and sports events. If you’re interested in art in all its forms, the upcoming weeks should prove particularly interesting. Firstly, however, you need to find a hotel that meets your requirements and expectations. The Hotel Université certainly ticks all the boxes, and our hospitality will help to ensure that your stay in the city is a joy. Situated in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, on the left bank of the Seine, our hotel provides a convenient location for easy access to the main Parisian attractions. But in addition to the city’s internationally famous monuments and museums, you’ll have the opportunity to attend two major events in the world of art: the Art Paris Art Fair and PAD Paris.

Two essential artistic events

Each year, contemporary art is showcased at the heart of the capital. As spring smiles on the city, two major events will make you smile, too. The first is the Art Paris Art Fair. A veritable institution in the field of modern and contemporary art, this event will take place in the Grand Palais from March 31st to April 3rd. Here you can enjoy the offerings of 143 galleries from 20 countries, with Azerbaijan, Colombia and Iran being represented for the first time this year. It’s a unique opportunity to enrich yourself and discover new artistic experiences. Equally exciting, the PAD Paris will take place from March 29th to April 3rd at the Art and Design Pavilion in the Tuileries. Get ready to be amazed.
