A look back at the 2024 Chinese New Year in Paris

Like every year, the Chinese New Year was widely celebrated in Paris. From February 8 to 25, 2024, the festivities allowed numerous visitors to immerse themselves in Chinese culture, through shows, exhibitions, and the famous colorful parade. Let’s rediscover all the events that marked Chinese New Year 2024 in Paris , and how we celebrated the entry into the year of the Wooden Dragon.Lunar New Year paradesAccording to the Chinese calendar, the new year begins on the second new moon after the winter solstice. We then speak of Lunar New Year, or Chinese New Year . In Vietnam, this celebration falls on the same day, and is called the Tet festival. To respect Chinese tradition, this festival always begins with a parade.The traditional Chinese New Year parade in the 13th arrondissement of ParisTo end the year of the Water Rabbit and start with dignity In the year of the Wooden Dragon , the 13th arrondissement of Paris organized its famous festive parade . On Sunday February 18, 2024, the participants put on their traditional costumes and paraded to the rhythm of Chinese music. The dragon dance, so dear to the traditional Lunar New Year celebration, therefore took place between Avenue de Choisy, Porte de Choisy and Avenue d’Ivry.Many associations celebrated the event in good spirits, introducing thousands of spectators to Chinese folklore.The Lunar New Year parade at Faubourg Saint-HonoréA few days before the traditional Paris 13 parade, the Faubourg Saint-Honoré Committee opened the festivities with a colorful Chinese New Year parade . On February 13, 2024, visitors gathered at the corner of Faubourg Saint-Honoré and rue Royale, in the 8th arrondissement, to attend the famous magical parade. During this exceptional day, Parisian associations staged the lion dance , dragons, and of course, the traditional lanterns.Chinese New Year’s Day 2024 entertainmentTo celebrate the New Year, great events were organized throughout the capital. Let’s remember 2 notable events from these two weeks of celebration.The Bastille marketThe Year of the Wooden Dragon was widely celebrated on Saturday February 17, at the Bastille market , in the 1st arrondissement of Paris. From 12 p.m. to 9 p.m., numerous activities allowed Parisians and tourists to experience this moment of celebration according to Chinese tradition .On the program: lantern-making workshop, artistic performances (demonstration of traditional dances, martial arts, etc.), calligraphy and Chinese painting workshops, etc.And to learn about Chinese gastronomy, no less than 40 Asian food stands were set up and offered traditional dishes.The festivities at the Guimet museumThe National Museum of Asian Arts was there to welcome the new year under the sign of the Wooden Dragon. To celebrate this unmissable festival, the Guimet museum has therefore offered a vast program based on lion dance, screenings of short films, meetings, and even workshops. Throughout the weekend of February 9, 10 and 11, as well as Wednesday February 21, 2024, the facade of the museum also displayed a sublime magical mapping.Treat yourself to Asian specialties for Chinese New Year 2024To properly celebrate the Chinese New Year and fully immerse yourself in Chinese culture, nothing beats delicious cuisine with Asian flavors.The best Chinese restaurants in ParisTo discover a new culture, tasting culinary traditions is essential. Chinese gastronomy has many specialties, more or less well known, such as longevity noodles (the longer the noodle, the better the year promises to be), Lok Ba Go (radish cake), dumplings, or again the Bánh chưng. So, to fly to China in one bite, here are some addresses of the best Asian restaurants in Paris :The Mirama (Paris 5);Les Pâtes Vivantes (Paris 9);La Pâtisserie de Choisy (Paris 13);Gros Bao (Paris 10);Le Tse Yang (Paris 16);Le Panda Panda (Paris 10)…If you want to experience more refined Chinese cuisine, you will need to go to a gourmet Chinese restaurant . We recommend the gourmet restaurant Lili, which also offered a special Chinese New Year menu. You can also go to Shrangi-La or Bauhinia, two essential addresses for Asian cuisine in Paris.The Belleville food marketIf you like street food, you definitely know the Belleville Food Market , in the 20th arrondissement of Paris. If you always find the best dishes to enjoy on the go, many events are also celebrated there, such as the arrival of Beaujolais Nouveau. Logically, the Lunar New Year was celebrated there on February 15, 2024. The Asian community was then able to showcase its culinary traditions, to the great pleasure of visitors.Every year, Paris celebrates Chinese New Year with great fervor. This is the opportunity to discover Asian culture, and to experience a unique moment of conviviality and good humor.

How to organize a business trip?

A business trip often represents an important challenge for a professional or for a company. Generally of short duration, this business trip must therefore be anticipated to optimize as much as possible these few days taken from usual working time. Let’s discover, with the B55 hotel, all the tips for successfully organizing a professional trip.Define the framework for business travelWhether you use a travel agency or organize your business trip alone, you will always need to start by contextualizing the business trip .How important is this business trip?A business trip represents a challenge in several respects, and it is essential to take a step back to determine if this travel project is really essential. Indeed, it is necessary to analyze the impact that this could have on professional activity, by comparing it to the time that it will require from the professional (which he will not spend doing something else that is perhaps more profitable) , the costs that this will generate, but also the impact on corporate social responsibility (CSR) . Identifying essential business trips is a real strategy for a company’s activity, but also for its carbon footprint.What is the purpose of this business trip?To understand the benefit of professional travel for companies, it is essential to define their objectives and analyze what this will bring. Whether it takes the form of a meeting, a trade fair, or a simple appointment, the professional mission must always have a very specific objective.Where does the corporate trip take place?Knowing the destination of the business trip allows you to prepare, whether by choosing the mode of transport, anticipating travel costs, but also by preparing the stay (local currency, time difference, local customs, etc.).How long will the business stay be?Knowing precisely the duration of the trip allows you to better manage and optimize time and money. Travel organization therefore involves managing travel, and in particular the time to devote to it, but also by managing accommodation and catering.What is the budget allocated to these travel plans?A professional travel plan must also take the budget into account. Depending on the means of transport and the length of the stay, you will be able to assess the budget to plan . However, you must anticipate additional costs that you do not always think about, so as not to have unpleasant surprises (breakfast at the hotel, parking costs, etc.). It is also important to establish rigorous expense reports to ensure coverage by the company.Plan a careful organization of the business tripA professional stay is often added to an already busy professional schedule. So that the trip does not have too heavy an impact on your business and is truly effective, you need to establish a plan.Know your objectives perfectly : if you leave at the request of your superior, you must know precisely what he expects of you. Managing your various appointments should allow you to prioritize without missing anything;Plan your absence from the office: whether you leave at the last minute or not, you must anticipate your absence with your colleagues, collaborators or clients. An absence email specifying your return date is always welcome, and you can also reschedule your appointments for your return;Confirm each appointment : to ensure that you are not traveling for nothing, it is essential to very precisely formalize each meeting planned during your stay. Ask for frank confirmation of your appointments a few days before your departure, specifying the time and location;Develop optimized travel itineraries : for good organization, the ideal is to organize meetings so that they waste as little time as possible. Transportation between each meeting place can waste a considerable amount of time, so be logical and efficient, this will also remove additional stress.Choose means of transportOrganizing travel for business travelers is quite complex, especially if we take into account responsible travel policies that are increasingly present in companies. The idea is to find the least polluting means of transport, but also the most efficient and profitable.The car: the rental car is the ideal transport for short distance trips, but especially for getting around once you arrive at the place of stay;The train : the advantage of the train is that it is possible to continue working during the journey. It is therefore both fast, practical, and less polluting than the car. On the other hand, it is necessary to study the price and timetables, because flexibility is not always required and does not respond well to travelers’ constraints;The plane : generally speaking, the plane is the fastest mode of transport for medium and long distances. But this requires anticipating travel once there, and taking into account the ecological impact of such a means of transport.Once there, it is always interesting to use public transport . If this is not possible, taxi or car rental can meet travelers’ expectations.Book accommodation for business travelWhen it comes to business travel, the choice of accommodation is crucial. It must be able to allow the professional to rest, without wasting time in transport, and to have all the necessary comfort within reach.You can therefore start your search for booking professional travel by informing yourself about the different policies and agreements of your company. This can impose a chain of hotels on you, for example, or have a loyalty program with a particular accommodation.Then, you will have to choose the accommodation so that it saves time, while taking into account the quality/price ratio . You will therefore be able to study the best offers from hotels and rental apartments located near the different meeting points.Finally, you will need to pay attention to the different options which may result in additional professional expenses.Good to know: booking directly on a hotel’s official website is often cheaper than on comparison sites.Prepare all the essential documents for your professional stayTo travel stress-free and not forget anything, it is wise to make a list of essential documents . You can also dedicate a pocket to these documents, in which you can slip your plane or train tickets, your identity document, your visa (for international travel), your business cards… Think also to digitize these documents, to always have them in your phone.The B55, an ideal hotel for your professional staysTraveling for work is often tiring, so to provide professionals with optimal comfort necessary for rest and quiet work, the 4-star B55 hotel is the ideal accommodation.

Parc Montsouris: stroll in this superb Parisian park

Paris is best known for its historical monuments and museums, but the city is also full of many spaces, large and small. Among the most visited, the Luxembourg Gardens, the Jardin des Plantes, and the Tuileries Gardens are at the top of the ranking, but do you know the Montsouris Park ? South of Paris, on the left bank, this green setting is a true haven of peace in the heart of the capital.Montsouris park: 15 hectares of greenery in the heart of ParisIn the 14th arrondissement of Paris, Parc Montsouris is a public garden located between rue d’Alésia and the Cité universitaire. It is also this very special location that attracts all students in search of calm and nature. The vast lawns are a call to relaxation and rest, while the 1,400 trees in the park provide shaded spaces perfect for getting some fresh air in summer.Spread over more than 15 hectares of greenery , the garden is one of the most beautiful parks in Paris, and walkers love to stroll there, around the lake and along the paths. The public garden is then dotted with numerous stone or bronze statues, spread over 3 vast lawns, and the immense artificial lake is the home of many animals, from green-necked ducks to swans.Montsouris Park also houses the meteorological observatory , dating from 1947, as well as a 5 meter high stone obelisk. Although this obelisk has nothing to do with the Montsouris observatory, many people nevertheless nickname it “the sight of the observatory”.The little-known history of the parkBefore becoming one of the public gardens of Paris , Montsouris park was occupied by the old quarries of Montrouge. Acting as a necropolis, more than 6 million bodies were buried there. This mortuary labyrinth, worthy of the catacombs of Paris, complicated the construction of the park, as did the presence of two railway lines. And it was not the war against Prussia in 1870 that made things easier. The numerous mounds and the steep slopes of the park are today vestiges of the difficulties that Baron Haussmann and the engineer Alphand may have encountered during the development of the green space.Finally, the inauguration of the park took place in 1878, while Napoleon III had initiated the work in 1867. The emperor’s objective was then to create a park at each of the 4 cardinal points of the capital : Montsouris park to the south, the Bois de Vincennes to the east, the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont to the north and the Bois de Boulogne to the west.To develop the park, Napoleon III was inspired by London parks . He then wanted to create a meeting space for all social classes.Good to know: the name of Montsouris refers to the time when the Bièvre mills were falling into ruin and were only occupied by rodents. We then spoke of “Mouse Mountain”, or “Mouse Mock”.A sublime park to stroll in summerFrom your first steps in the green spaces of Montsouris park, you will be immersed in a bucolic atmosphere which will make you forget all the hustle and bustle of everyday life and the capital. The park then becomes the ideal place on hot summer days. With friends, family, lovers, or even alone, the park and its wide open spaces welcome you for a picnic, a short stroll, or just to sunbathe.In summer, the park is open until midnight, and the bandstand schedules numerous concerts to keep you dancing and humming all evening. During the day, the walk is just as pleasant, in the shade of the trees and to the rhythm of the songs of the many species of birds.To entertain you, the green spaces of the park are not left out. Ping-pong tables offer you the opportunity to experience wild games, the weather station arouses your curiosity, while the children rush to the playground and the carousel . And for those with a sweet tooth, the Pavillon Montsouris , right in the center of the park, guarantees delicious cuisine in a breathtaking setting.Good to know: Montsouris park previously hosted the Palais du Bardo. This oriental palace, inaugurated during the Universal Exhibition of 1867, unfortunately disappeared during a major fire in 1991.Visit Montsouris park: practical informationParc Montsouris is located in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, between Porte de Gentilly and Porte d’Arcueil. To get to the site, you can take numerous public transport (RER B, tram T3a, bus, etc.). From the B55 hotel, a few minutes on foot will be enough, since the park is only 500 meters from the hotel .Good to know: the park is accessible from rue gazan, boulevard Jourdan, avenue Reille, rue de la Cité-Universitaire, rue Nansouty, and rue Émile-Deutsch-de-la-Meurthe.The park is free and open all year round . In summer, you can walk there from 7 a.m. to midnight from Thursday to Sunday, and from 7 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. from Monday to Wednesday. The rest of the year, the park closes at 5:45 p.m.The B55 hotel near Montsouris parkJust 500 meters from Montsouris Park, the B55 hotel welcomes you in a comfortable and warm setting.
