This path owes its name to the hotel of the Grand-Veneur to which it leads. The hotel was confiscated during the Revolution, then it was purchased in 1823 by the Franciscan ladies of St. Elisabeth who occupied it until 1901. A small park in the inner courtyard is a tranquil oasis in the middle of the city.
It was a brightful day. We walked through the squares and parks of old mansions, visited the Picasso Museum, the art galleries, had lunch at the Place des Vosges, visited the Place de la Bastille and completed the walk by the princely and quiet boardwalk of the River Seine, where live swans and peace reigns.
