The three (essential) things to do this weekend

Treat yourself to a night at the Hôtel du Sentier

Forget the telecommuting routine for 24 hours… by going to sleep in one of the 30 very stylish rooms (two of which have a rooftop) of this new boutique hotel, located in the heart of the half-bobo, half-industrial district of Le Sentier.

Here, small cafes, florists, take-out donut stalls are gradually replacing textile wholesalers.

The streets are narrow, the small squares being redeveloped.

The Cairo Passage, still in its original state, benefits from a new glass roof to let in the light.

This district dedicated to Napoleon's “return from Egypt” - with its streets of Alexandria, the Nile, Aboukir… - is in the midst of gentrification.

The reference can be found even on the listed facade of the building dating from 1795 with its sculpted heads of the goddess Hathor.
