Adventure at the gateway to the City of Lights

Lying at the gateway to the French capital, your hotel in Boulogne-Billancourt boasts all the benefits of Paris with a more laid-back feel. The municipality tasted glory in the 1930s with its car, flight and film industries. Our team has cherry-picked the very best sight-seeing ideas and walks.

The green lung of the city
Your Boulogne-Billancourt hotel is located next to some stunning parks and gardens. The Parc de la Glacière has taken over Paris' former fridge factory site. A playground, sports field and chess set are on hand to delight all passers-by. Stretching over seven hectares, the Parc de Billancourt isn't too far away. Its patchwork of different areas makes for a charming stroll. Cross over the Seine to the Ile Seguin garden. Created by landscaper designer Michel Desvigne, this unusual space showcases pure nature in an ever-changing industrial landscape. Rubbing shoulders with the Bois de Boulogne on the boundary of the municipality, the sprawling Parc Edmond-de-Rotschild also makes for an ideal walking spot.
The green lung of the city
Boulogne-Billancourt is steeped in an industrial and historic past. Discover the place's multi-faceted history through its museums. The Musée Paul-Belmondo showcases an array of sculptures, drawings, watercolours and engravings by this master of figurative sculpture. On an entirely different note, the Musée Renault explores the history of the company that first opened its factories in Billancourt in the late 19th century. A stone's throw away from your hotel is the 1930s Museum that pays tribute to the town's cultural and industrial heritage by showcasing pieces by famous artists such as Alfred Courmes and Henry Arnold. With its Archives of the Planet and 'staged' garden, the Musée Albert-Kahn embodies the French philanthropist's utopian vision of universal peace.
