From September onwards, Paris relaunches its concert and theatre season. The Olympia, Folies Bergère, Mogador, La Cigale and Casino de Paris — some of the capital’s most iconic venues — are all in the 9th arrondissement or right on its doorstep.

On rue de La Rochefoucauld in Paris’s 9th arrondissement, the Gustave Moreau Museum is one of Nouvelle Athènes’ best-kept secrets. The Symbolist painter’s house-studio, bequeathed to the French state with 25,000 works, remains exactly as he intended it — with guided tours included, an autonomous audio guide and visitor itineraries available on site.

Créatures above Galeries Lafayette, Perruche at Printemps Haussmann, Maggie facing Sacré-Cœur, Bar à Bulles behind the Moulin Rouge and Sequoia at the Kimpton: five elevated addresses selected by the hotel, all walkable from the 9th arrondissement.

The 2026 summer sales begin on Wednesday 24 June. From Hôtel R de Paris, in the heart of the 9th arrondissement, boulevard Haussmann is a 10-minute walk away, rue des Martyrs is 5 minutes away — and the hotel’s luggage room lets you move around hands-free between shopping rounds. The ideal base for four weeks of shopping.

After Polissons in Montmartre, Romain Lamon (formerly with Éric Fréchon at Le Bristol and Michel Roth at the Ritz) opened Argile on rue de Milan in Paris’s 9th: thirty seats, open kitchen, lunch from €22, a more ambitious evening menu and natural wines selected by sommelier Emma. Two minutes on foot from Hôtel R de Paris.
