LivE the Parisians dream in the heart of the 13th
The Urban Bivouac Hotel *** is located in the east of the 13th arrondissement of Paris, in the Tolbiac district, close to Bercy and the Seine and minutes from the French National Library, Austerlitz train station, the Gobelins, and the famous Place d’Italie.
Tolbiac, in Paris 13
Tolbiac is a relatively young and vibrant neighbourhood, urban yet calm. Near the hotel, you will easily find green pockets such as Paul Nizan park, Berthe Morisot garden or Choisy park.
The district boasts cultural attractions, art galleries and a bounty of shops and restaurants, a thriving cultural and business hub. The hotel is less than 100 metres from Olympiades, Paris’ Chinatown.
