Never got to stay at HappyCulture. Due to refurbishment, we were offered an upgrade to their Hotel Parisiana, very well located near Gard du Nord and even closer to Gard de L’Est. Great reception team who spoke English and were extremely helpful polite and efficient. Get down to breakfast early - the food runs out before the 10am finish time. Quiet hotel. We had a superior room - good size, great shower. Local area around hotel seems a bit dodgy but we had no problems. Would happily return
