When Paris wakes up to spring light

The first rays of sunshine caress the Haussmann façades, the terraces fill with Parisians in search of black coffee and crisp croissants, and the gardens are decked out in a thousand colors. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to discover Paris.

Away from the summer crowds, the capital offers itself in all its elegance, with a golden light that sublimates its neighborhoods. And to enjoy this experience like a true local, there's nothing like a stay at Orso Hôtels, addresses that exude authenticity and neighborhood spirit.

‍Parisian rooftops: seeing Paris from above

In spring, Paris can also be admired from the rooftops. As the days lengthen and the sky lights up at the end of the day, the Orso rooftops offer breathtaking views of the capital.

🌆 The rooftop of the Rochechouartperched atop the eponymous hotel, is a secret spot with a 360° panoramic view of Paris and the Sacré-Coeur as a backdrop. Away from the crowded addresses, you can enjoy a cocktail high up, lulled by a gentle breeze and the distant rumor of Pigalle.

🥂 The rooftop of the Hôtel Wallacehidden away in the 15ᵉ arrondissement, offers an intimate, convivial atmosphere. In an uncluttered, leafy setting, you can enjoy a drink while watching the Eiffel Tower sparkle as night falls.

Whether in the hustle and bustle of Pigalle or the tranquility of 15ᵉ, Orso rooftops are ideal perched stops to soak up the magic of Parisian spring.

‍Montmartreand Pigalle: the Parisian bobo

Artistic strolls and breathtaking views

Montmartre is at its most beautiful in spring. With its cobbled streets and winding stairways leading up to the Sacré-Coeur, the atmosphere is soft and timeless. It's a pleasure to get lost in the narrow streets of the Butte, to admire the artists of the Place du Tertre and to take a moment of contemplation at the top of the Sacré-Coeur steps, where Paris stretches as far as the eye can see.

Secret addresses and a hushed ambience

Not far away, Pigalle comes alive at dusk. Once a cabaret hot-spot, Pigalle now vibrates to the rhythm of trendy bars and neo-bistros. A drink at the Mikado Dancingthe legendary former Rochechouart dance hall, and a whole section of the Paris of the Roaring Twenties comes back to life.
