A visit to the Musée Grévin!
A detour to the Musée Grévin
Your Grand Boulevards hotel is just a 10-minute walk from the Musée Grévin. A guided tour of the famous wax statues is a must.
At the Musée Grévin, you can pose alongside your favorite celebrities. In 2015, some of the biggest names in culture and sport made their appearance: Penelope Cruz, M'bappé, Michelin-starred chef Anne-Sophie Pic... This atypical museum, which opened its doors in 1882, promises some great encounters!
Getting there from your 3-star Paris hotel couldn't be easier! Take rue Bergère, turn left onto rue du Faubourg Montmartre and then boulevard Montmartre. It's a ten-minute walk to the museum. An ideal way to start your Parisian weekend!
A little history ...
The museum's founder is Arthur Meyer. This journalist wanted to “put faces” to the personalities of the day. For his original project, he called on Alfred Grévin, a cartoonist, costume designer and sculptor. With the financial backing of a certain Gabriel Thomas, the project saw the light of day in 1882, and was a resounding success from the outset! Since then, right next door to your Grands Boulevards hotel, it has enabled visitors to “touch with their eyes” celebrities from show business, sport and current affairs...
The must-sees from your 3-star Paris hotel
A visit to the museum transports you into different worlds, where you'll be the only actors in your visit.
- Step back in time: relive the greatest moments in French history. Re-appropriate the great dates of our country

After admiring the wax statues, discover the secrets of their manufacture. There's also an area dedicated to children, where they can meet The Little Prince and other film and comic book heroes (Titeuf, etc.).
Other ideas for the rest of your Paris weekend
Allow around 1h30 for a visit to the Musée Grévin. A perfect way to start the day, just a stone's throw from your Grands Boulevards hotel. If you'd like to explore the neighborhood, we recommend these unusual visits: the Grand Rex, Les Folie Bergères or a boutique 100% dedicated to Elvis Presley.
