Head to the Terrass” Hotel to enjoy an espresso with a stunning view of Paris at your feet. This Montmartre establishment is open year-round and offers a restaurant with a panoramic view, as well as a rooftop terrace, where you can enjoy a gourmet meal or an exceptional business breakfast.

In addition to its artistically industrial interior and plant-filled exterior, the hotel offers an obstructed view of the most beautiful city in the world. The cherry on top? Enjoying a cup of coffee made with beans roasted by Loni, an artisanal Montmartre roaster, and sampling the honey produced by the hotel’s own bees. If that’s not a perfect example of a local supply chain, we don’t know what is!

Find yourself with a bit of free time between two meetings?

Lace up your trainers and go for a run on the banks of the Seine. We suggest starting at the Eiffel Tower and running to Ile Saint-Louis.

Over the course of your run, you can admire some of Paris’ most beautiful monuments: the Pont Alexandre III, the Grand Palais, the Bourbon Palace, the Musée d’Orsay, the Louvre, the Pont des Arts, the Pont Neuf and Notre-Dame Cathedral. Set aside 20 minutes to an hour for your run, depending on your speed.

It’s also a perfect place for a drink before (or after) a meeting.
