Hotel Sophie Germain — News

Located 20 metres beneath the ground, the Paris Catacombs hold the bones of more than 6 million people. In the late 18th century it was decided that certain Paris cemeteries, which had become horribly overcrowded and a source of disease, should be emptied of their occupants, who would be gradually transferred to the vast ossuary that later became a site of historical and cultural interest, the Catacombes de Paris.

Enjoy the Rock en Seine music festival on August 28th to 30th, 2015. For three days, you can enjoy amazing live performances from such music legends as The Chemical Brothers and The Offspring. Children don’t need to feel left out, either, as they can enjoy their own brand of fun at the mini Rock en Seine. Also, gourmets will have a great time taking part in the Fête de la Gastronomie.
