A night at Les Invalides to discover a unique show blending history and modernity

On Saturday, August 11, your Airbnb concierge suggests an unforgettable night in a place steeped in history: Les Invalides. Take advantage of this special opportunity to see the sound and light show, especially the 3D projection. Don't be startled when the courtyard facades start to move. Using innovative technology, relive the history of great figures like Louis XIV or Napoleon. A dreamlike show to enjoy with family or as a couple. A great way to treat yourself before heading back to rest in your Airbnb!

Our selection of the best bars

Finally, your Airbnb concierge team has put together a list of the best bars in the 1st and 2nd arrondissements. Why these districts? Welkeys recommends the 1st and 2nd arrondissements of Paris because they are the oldest, but also among the most active in the City of Light: exceptionally well-connected, they combine the authenticity of historical monuments, like the Louvre Museum and the Tuileries Garden, with modernity. The ideal setting for any private or professional events you might have during your stay! The bars in these districts are particularly well-suited for after-work drinks, birthdays, or gatherings with friends.
