Paris Upside Down

Local markets and neighbourhood shops: experience Paris like a local
Accommodation manager at Maison Mère

In Paris, true luxury isn’t found only along the grand avenues. It hides in a perfectly arranged fruit stall, in the smell of warm bread on a street corner, in the knowing exchange with a cheesemonger who recognises their regulars. Staying in Paris also means taking the time to wander through local markets and neighbourhood shops, where the city reveals its most vibrant and sincere side.

In the heart of the 9th arrondissement, Maison Mère embodies this local art of living. More than a hotel, it is a home open to its neighbourhood, designed as a starting point for exploring an authentic, gourmet and deeply human Paris.
