Where to stay in Levallois-Perret
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Hotels here are business hotels. Levallois-Perret is a working, well-off commune rather than a sightseeing one, and the case for a room is arithmetic: six kilometres from the middle of Paris, a short hop from Cœur Défense, and quieter after dark than either. Space is the trade-off.
Two and a half square kilometres hold the entire town, so rooms run compact and the streets reward walkers far more than drivers. The Seine edge is the calmer choice. Streets along the right bank and toward Neuilly-sur-Seine swap office traffic for a slower evening, and the Hyatt Regency Paris Etoile shows the scale of hotel building just over the boundary.
Museums start immediately after. The Musée Jacquemart-André, the Musée Cernuschi and the Musée Nissim de Camondo all sit within a short run, and the Palais Galliera, the palais de Tokyo and the Musée d'art moderne de Paris follow the same bank. Business days point the other way.
A room toward Cœur Défense puts the towers within reach without putting them outside the window, and the Louis Vuitton Foundation and the Jardin d'Acclimatation lie on that side for an afternoon off. If you want the tourist Paris of the Eiffel Tower, the Musée du quai Branly and Montmartre, take the city-facing streets instead. Nothing in this commune is far.
About Levallois-Perret
Density is the defining trait.
What is Levallois-Perret known for?
Levallois-Perret fits a whole town into barely two and a half square kilometres on the right bank of the Seine, packed as tightly as anywhere in Europe and, with neighbouring Neuilly-sur-Seine, among the costliest suburbs of Paris. It was founded in 1867. What visitors come for lies outside the boundary, from the Eiffel Tower and the Musée du quai Branly to Cœur Défense at the business end.
What are the main landmarks in Levallois-Perret?
Nothing on the list belongs to the commune itself. The Eiffel Tower and the Musée du quai Branly hold the river end, La Madeleine and Saint-Augustin the streets behind, and the Musée Jacquemart-André, the Musée Cernuschi and the Musée Nissim de Camondo the quieter houses between them. Montmartre adds its own.
The Musée de Montmartre, Dalí Paris and Saint-Jean-de-Montmartre sit up on the hill, while the Louis Vuitton Foundation lies out past Neuilly-sur-Seine.
What is the history of Levallois-Perret?
The commune is young. Levallois-Perret was founded in 1867, well after the villages around it, and the late start shows in streets laid out to one plan rather than accumulated over centuries. Land was tight from the first.
Barely two and a half square kilometres on the right bank of the Seine had to carry an entire town, and the result is a place built as tightly as anywhere in Europe. The century that made it was the century of the buildings across the boundary. Saint-Augustin, the Église de la Sainte-Trinité and the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Paris all belong to the same expansion of the right bank, as do the Petit Palais and the Palais de la Découverte a little further in.
Money followed early. Levallois-Perret and neighbouring Neuilly-sur-Seine became two of the costliest suburbs of the capital, and neither has slipped since. Offices came last.
Cœur Défense marks the business district that rose on this side of Paris, the Hyatt Regency Paris Etoile the hotel trade that came with it, and the Louis Vuitton Foundation a later cultural addition out toward the Jardin d'Acclimatation. Old and new sit very close together. A commune founded in 1867 works as a corporate address a few minutes from the Eiffel Tower.
Where is Levallois-Perret?
Two and a half square kilometres, hard against Paris. Levallois-Perret occupies the right bank of the Seine in the northwestern suburbs of the capital, inside Hauts-de-Seine, with Neuilly-sur-Seine along one side and the towers of Cœur Défense standing beyond. Six kilometres reach the centre.
No open ground survives inside it.
What is the climate of Levallois-Perret?
Weather crosses the plain with nothing to stop it, and the Seine supplies the only local variation, a touch more damp along the bank than in the packed streets behind. Cold snaps are brief. Summer heat holds longer in Levallois-Perret than in open country, because two and a half square kilometres of stone and asphalt give it somewhere to settle, and the evenings stay warm well after dark.
Rain is steady rather than heavy.
How do you get to Levallois-Perret?
Six kilometres, and the city never stops. Levallois-Perret shares a boundary with Paris, so getting in is a matter of crossing rather than travelling, and the same holds toward Cœur Défense on the other flank. Drivers come off worst.
Streets this dense leave little room to park, and the sensible arrival is on the network linking the commune, Neuilly-sur-Seine and the right-bank stations of the capital.
