There are places where the past surfaces in superimposed layers. The Boudoir of the Muses, a discreet gem nestled at 6 rue de Saintonge, is a perfect example. First convent at XVII1st century, he became, after the Revolution, a small neighborhood theater. We applaud actresses who are as free as they are charming... to the point that Napoleon's henchmen, annoyed by their "too loose" morals, closed the place in 1807. The spirit of the place, however, continues to float in the air. Today, This unique hotel cultivates the art of refined disorder. The rooms, simple and enveloping, evoke both the cell of a muse and the refuge of an inspired soul.
