PARIS CITY GUIDE | NEWS

Paris has always combined sport and elegance; the French Open tennis championships being an example. However, the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, a horse race of rare intensity, may well be the ultimate expression of the capital’s passion and respect for great sporting occasions. Experience this magnificent event.

Over the weekend of September 21st and 22nd, Paris will be celebrating the Journées du Patrimoine (Heritage Days). Take advantage of the opportunities afforded by this special occasion to experience exceptional events, discoveries, encounters and wonders. The Roch Hotel & Spa team have some suggestions for making the most of it all...

With the lush greenery of its terrace and large shade-giving parasols, the restaurant of the Roch Hotel & Spa evokes the very essence of holiday relaxation in the heart of the Parisian summer. To add to the laid-back ambiance, our chef has been inspired to create a menu that focusses on the essentials of the season.

Imbued with the essence of Louis XIV, Molière, Lully, Marie-Antoinette and many other historical figures, the Palace of Versailles is simply a magical place, and the enchantment is intensified even further during the Musical Fountains Show. This spellbinding spectacle takes place only about thirty minutes from the heart of Paris and your Roch Hotel & Spa!

More than ever, the Seine has become the essential place to be in Paris. Adding to the many barges and riverside terraces offering wonderful atmosphere and great views, the Ville de Paris has just opened a truly innovative floating urban art centre.

Why not experience the charm and relaxed ambiance of Paris in summer and take advantage of the city’s magnificent attractions and many festivals? And, at this time of year, our thoughts naturally turn towards the tasty delights of barbecue. At the Roch, we offer a barbecue menu that’s bursting with delicious summer flavours. Come along and enjoy a lunch on the terrace under the parasols.

For the Roch Hotel & Spa team, caring is not just a concept. That's why we chose to establish a partnership with Etoiles et Solidaires (Stars and Solidarity), an association dedicated to sharing gastronomy and nutrition knowledge with the elderly and which we had the pleasure of welcoming to the Roch for their first meeting.

Each year, the Chantilly Racecourse hosts a strongly contested Group 1 flat horse race that honours the best three-year-old thoroughbred filly. But at the Prix de Diane, also known as the French Oaks, the show also takes place in the stands. During your stay at the Roch Hotel & Spa, why not discover this elegant and refined sporting event as well as all the entertainment and activities that accompany it?

This is the era of social networks and the participatory spirit. That's why our chef Rémy Bérerd doesn’t want to stay shut up in his kitchen, deciding on his own what guests will want to enjoy in the restaurant of the Roch Hotel & Spa. Discover ‘Roch your menu’ and help decide what you will find on the menu next week!

Make the most of the spring and the Easter weekend by enjoying a break in the relaxing and cosy setting of the Roch Hotel & Spa. For the occasion, Rémy Bererd and his team have come up with a special Easter brunch.

With the return of the sunny days and the arrival of seasonal produce full of sunshine, our chef Remy Bérerd becomes filled with the desire for innovation and change. The new menus at the restaurant of the Roch Hotel & Spa are the result of all his inspiration, creativity and passion for the finest ingredients. Come and discover the bounty of flavours he offers for lunch and dinner!
