Le Village Montmartre

 

A little bit on the pricier side, you pay for the amazing location that Le Village Montmartre offers. Located just minutes from Paris’ famous Sacre-Coeur basilica, this hostel is the perfect home base for day-time exploration.

When in Paris, you cannot go wrong with any of these suggestions. Grab a beer during happy hour at your hostel, then pass a bottle of wine around with your friends while pre-gaming on the Seine's banks. Follow that up with any of these pre-drink spots, and you're primed for the night of your life. When it's Gametime, head to the nightclub with the best lineup for the evening and plan accordingly to avoid steep covers. Between the grilled cheeses and the late-night crepes, your hanger doesn't stand a chance against this city's Grub. When it's time to Crash, you know where to go: Les Piaules, St. Christopher's Inn, or Le Village Montmartre.

Wake up, put down a hostel breakfast, and repeat.
