agoda.com presents La Rive Gauche Paris – hot hotels on the Left Bank

2012-07-25 — /travelprnews.com/ — agoda.com, Asia’s leading hotel booking site and part of Nasdaq-listed Priceline Group (Nasdaq: PCLN), today announced exclusive deals on La Rive Gauche.

La Rive Gauche – literally, ‘the Left Bank’ – is where the roots of bohemia and modern intellectualism in Paris first took hold. Home to students, artists, writers and free-thinkers, its most famous inhabitants have included Sartre, Camus, Picasso, Hemmingway, Anaïs Nin and Henry Miller.

Today, the Left Bank – which geographically refers to the southern side of the Seine, mainly the fifth and sixth arrondissements – is a largely gentrified area with luxury stores and upmarket accommodation. Still, its bohemian and intellectual legacies abide in the Café de Flore, les Deus Margots café and at Place Jean-Paul Sartre et Simone de Beauvoir, an intersection commemorative of these two pioneers of existentialism.

The Left Bank is still home to esteemed places of learning, including the highly selective political science institute ‘Sciences Po’ and Sorbonne University. The biggest cultural attractions for travelers here – and definitely the most recognizable – are the Musée d’Orsay, the Musée Rodin, the Luxembourg Gardens and the majestic Eiffel Tower.

Also a must-visit area of the Left Bank is the Latin Quarter – its narrow streets and wide avenues lined with restaurants and bistros, some offering dinner specials and set meals for travelers, some overflowing with students from nearby universities.

The Latin Quarter is one of the oldest parts of Paris, where travelers can see beautiful examples of historic architecture, such as the twelfth-century Sorbonne, the Pantheon, and the National Museum of Natural History.

La Rive Gauche is the perfect place from which to explore Paris. It offers easy Metro access, most major points of interest are within walking distance, there are inexpensive cafés, shops and restaurants galore, and a lively night scene with clubs, bistros and late-night lounges.

To give travelers the chance to see Paris from the perspective of some of the world’s greatest intellectuals and artists, agoda.com is offering the following Rive Gauche hotel specials.
