A SUMMER NEIGHBOURHOOD

There’s no need to go to the other side of the world, or even to the other end of the city, to make discoveries that inspire your summer vacation mood like fresh cream inspires strawberries. The Oberkampf district is revelling in the golden days of summer, and in the vicinity of the Hotel Fabric you will feel the seasonal ambience embrace you when you stroll the streets and discover the countless delights on offer as the sun smiles down.
