Timhotel Montmartre **

11, rue de Ravignan
75018 Paris

Timhotel Booking on-line

While this is the farthest removed from IRCAM, the location is so exceptional we thought some might want to stay there. Perched on the slopes of Montmartre, next door to the celebrated Bateau Lavoir of Renoir, Toulouse-Lautrec, Picasso and many other famous painters, the location of this hotel is one of the most desirable in Paris. Set beside a quaint chestnut tree square and a Wallace Fountain, it looks like a scene from a picture postcard.
