Europe's Famous Hostel
St Christopher’s Inn - Paris
Europe’s Famous Hostels have been very busy and recently added two top notch hostels to their highly select group of fantastic backpacker bases. One of these was the brand new, St Christopher’s Inn – in Paris, set against the scenic canals from the smash hit movie Amélie. To celebrate this rather special event we’re bringing our attention to bare on all the fun things you can do in the French capital, when you stay with St Christopher’s.

The Last Rood Screen
This beautiful piece of architecture can be found in a church called St. Etienne du Mont in the 5th arrondissement. It was built by Antoine Beaucorps in 1541 and is by far one of the most spectacular sites in Paris. If you need to navigate using a nearby landmark, look out for the Pantheon.
The Viaduct des Arts
This is an amazing elevated walk in the12th arrondissement. On it you’ll find yourself elevated above Avenue Daumesnil and the surrounds are incredibly manicured, with gardens above street level. You have to see it to believe just how awesome this one is.
The Rose Line at Saint Sulpice
Whether you’re a Da Vinci Code fan or not this is a great site to see and has been here since 1727. Expect a whole lot of mainstream, bus conveyed tourists here.
29 Avenue Rapp
A quirky choice but one of the most amazing and beautiful doors in Paris. You’ll find it very close to the Eiffel Tower.
Bercy Village
This used to be a wine storage facility in Paris but these days it’s been turned into a great off the wall destination. It’s perfect for a lazy Sunday and is comparable to Borough Market in London – but with an extra pinch of chic!
Bateaux Lavoir
This is where all of the artists in the early 1900s lived, including Picasso, Modigliani and Renoir. It’s in the 18th district, very close to Sacre Coeur and Montmartre. Also when you’re in the Montmartre look out for a vineyard called Clos Montmarte. This city central vineyard produces 700 bottles of beautiful wine a year.
There are massive city guide resources - tailor made with you in mind - on the Europe’s Famous Hostels website. On here you can also find out more about the hostel, the ten minute commute from the Eurostar Terminus at Gare du Nord and much more.
