The 14th arrondissement, as seen by Virgina
The 14th arrondissement reveals a side of Paris that few tourists know about. From the doorstep of the Hôtel Virgina, a residential, leafy and authentic neighbourhood unfolds before you: the paths of Parc Montsouris, the market on Rue Daguerre, the terraces of Alésia and, just a few metro stops away, the cultural heart of the capital.
This isn’t the Paris you see on postcards; it’s the Paris of the Parisians. And Virgina is your best gateway to experiencing it from the inside.
