Hotel le Bout de Parc —
Just for you:
- Complimentary late check-out until 2pm
Perched in the heart of Amiens and only steps from its historic centre, Hôtel Le Bout du Parc offers a location steeped in French charm and Picard history. The hotel sits adjacent to the peaceful Parc Saint-Pierre and within walking distance of the city’s UNESCO-listed Gothic cathedral, which has watched over Amiens since the early 13th century.
Over its lifetime, the city has enchanted writers and artists alike, most famously Jules Verne, who was born here, and its rich heritage echoes through the narrow lanes of Saint-Leu and the verdant gardens that border the Somme. With local cafés, riverside walks, and centuries of storytelling at your doorstep, Le Bout du Parc is a gateway to Amiens’ soul.

Versailles —
Versailles, a city of grandeur and refinement just outside Paris, invites you to step into the world of French royalty. Once the residence of Louis XIV, the “Sun King”, it captivates visitors with its majestic palace, opulent halls and sweeping gardens, where history and elegance come to life.
Must-sees:
- Château de Versailles: The legendary palace, famed for its dazzling Hall of Mirrors, royal apartments and magnificent architecture.
- Gardens of Versailles: Designed by André Le Nôtre, the formal gardens impress with their fountains, sculptures and tree-lined vistas. Don’t miss the seasonal Musical Fountains Show and Night Fountains, which illuminate the park with enchanting spectacle.
- Osmothèque: A unique perfume conservatory where over 3,200 fragrances, including many long vanished, are carefully preserved. This rare collection invites you on a sensory journey through the history of perfumery, offering an experience as unexpected as it is captivating.
- Notre-Dame Market: A lively square brimming with stalls of fresh produce, flowers and gourmet delights, beloved by locals.
Culinary culture:
Versailles pairs royal heritage with a thriving gastronomic scene. Savour classic French flavours at elegant brasseries, indulge in refined patisserie at Angelina Versailles, or enjoy modern cuisine in restaurants showcasing seasonal produce from the Île-de-France region.
Dive deeper:
Explore Saint-Louis Cathedral and the picturesque Quartier des Antiquaires, full of art galleries and antique shops. Wander through Potager du Roi, the historic royal kitchen garden, where fruit and vegetables were once cultivated for the court. For a touch of innovation, try immersive experiences such as the virtual reality tour of the vanished gardens of the Sun King.
Good to know:
Versailles lies just 22 km from central Paris and is only 20 minutes away by train (RER C or SNCF from Montparnasse or Saint-Lazare). The palace is open year-round, but the gardens are especially enchanting from spring to early autumn, when fountains flow and flowers are in bloom. The Musical Fountains Show runs on weekends from April to October, while the Night Fountains Show takes place on Saturday evenings from June to September, with special events on 14 July, 15 August and 20 September. The city itself is walkable, though bicycles and small tourist trains make exploring the vast estate even easier.
