12th Arrondissement is one of the largest Paris districts. It is even larger if the Bois de Vincennes is added. For visitors coming from Switzerland, Italy, or the south of France there is strong chance that the arrival, in the 12th Arrondissement will be via the Gare de Lyon. After alighting from the train many visitors will head off to the Opéra Bastille. This relatively new building was officially inaugurated on July 13, 1989, on the 200th anniversary of the storming of the Bastille. Another favourite spot for both Parisians and visitors is the Bois de Vincennes, an area of parkland and lakes which is nearly three times larger than Central Park in New York, and four times larger than Hyde Park in London. There is a good range of business and buget hotel accommodation in the 12th Arrondissement including 3 and 2 star properties such as the Holiday Inn Paris Bastille, Le Quartier Bastille Le Faubourg Hotel, Trianon Gare de Lyon Hotel, Jardins de Paris Nation Bercy Hotel, and Color Design Hotel.
12th Arrondissement Paris Hotels Restaurants including Villa Mazarin Hotel Hotel Turenne Le Marais Hotel Paris Rivoli Hotel Saint Louis Marais Pointe Rivoli Hotel De La Herse D Or Place des Vosges near Bercy Gare de Lyon and 12e Map.
This beautiful mansion from the Belle-Epoque era is just a 5-minute walk from the tree-lined boulevard of Gare de Lyon in central Paris. Only 20 minutes by cab from Orly and Charles de Gaulle airports, just steps from the Ministry of Economy and Finance and a 15 minute RER ride from the La Defense business district, the Holiday Inn Paris Bastille is the ideal place of stay for business travelers.
The 12th arrondissement of Paris is one of the largest of the city's districts even without the 2,460 acre Bois de Vincennes, which more than doubles its size. Gare de Lyon in the 12th will likely be your arrival point if you are coming from Switzerland, Italy, or the south of France.
The 12th arrondissement contains the Opéra de la Bastille, the second largest opera house in Paris. It was inaugurated in 1989, on the 200th anniversary of the storming of the Bastille. The Bois de Vincennes is also located in this arrondissement.
