Best hotels near the Seine in Paris for Celine Dion fans

Location is everything

For the perfect Paris experience combining the Celine on the Seine cruise (4 Quai Saint-Bernard, 5th arr.) and the Paris La Défense Arena concerts (Nanterre, Hauts-de-Seine), you need a hotel with easy access to both. Here is our guide.

The best area: 5th arrondissement (Latin Quarter)

The 5th is our top recommendation. Within walking distance of the cruise departure and well connected to the Paris La Défense Arena by metro. The neighbourhood itself is wonderful — narrow streets, bookshops, cafes, the Pantheon, Luxembourg Gardens.
